"We are thrilled to welcome Jackie as chair and grateful for her years of experience leading nonprofit organizations," Executive Director of the Alabama Association on Nonprofits Danielle Dunbar said."Jackie will be a thoughtful, energetic, and savvy leader of our board and she will keep the Association focused on our newly refined strategic plan.”

AAN says Alabama’s nonprofit sector generates more than $10 billion annually for the state, holds over $20 billion in assets and employs 5% of Alabamians.

"Nonprofits do not have a product or a widget that every time we sell, we make a profit," Wuska said. "Yet, the state of Alabama’s nonprofits work tirelessly to provide services and programs that address our community’s most critical needs. The Alabama Association of Nonprofits has the important mission of helping nonprofit organizations be more effective and efficient so that we are good stewards of every gift and donation we receive in order to offer a better quality of life to every citizen of Alabama.”
