Meet Whitney C. Lee: A Trailblazer in Community and Economic Empowerment

Whitney Lee is a dynamic force dedicated to driving transformational change at every level. With a Marketing degree and a Marketing Research Certificate from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) in 2012, Whitney quickly climbed the ranks in the nonprofit sector after earning certifications in Nonprofit Management from UAB and Women's Entrepreneurship from Cornell University in 2020. Now on track to complete her Master’s in Community Planning at Auburn University in December 2024 with a perfect 4.0 GPA, Whitney’s commitment to excellence speaks for itself.

After an accomplished decade in retail, Whitney reinvented her career, pivoting into nonprofit strategy as a Nonprofit and Cause Marketing Strategist. She became a sought-after partner for nonprofit executives, empowering them to elevate their brands and impact the world on a human-to-human level. Her journey took her to Auburn, Alabama, in 2018 to serve as an AmeriCorps Vista, where she expanded her leadership roles within Auburn Outreach, the Auburn University Foundation, and the Office of Inclusion and Diversity.

Today, Whitney serves as the powerhouse President of the Women in Nonprofit Foundation, the Kiwanis Club of Lee County, and holds key leadership roles in organizations like Church of the Highlands and Hiztorical Vision Productions. Her relentless dedication to uplifting communities—from mentoring high schoolers to providing essential resources to families—embodies her unwavering commitment to service. In 2021, she founded the WIN Foundation, a platform aimed at partnering with women-led organizations in Alabama to alleviate poverty in rural areas.

Whitney’s personal motto, “Success is on the other side of service,” captures her mission to create lasting impact through leadership, collaboration, and innovation.
