Donna Sines is a natural facilitator, gifted visionary, creative strategist, and writer. Nationally, Sines is best known for her community-building work engaging non-traditional stakeholders. Before leading the country’s first grassroots Community Vision organization for a quarter of a century, she served as Executive Vice President of the largest Chamber of Commerce in Central Florida.

To celebrate this experiential-focused program’s 25th anniversary and mark its impact on the future of Central Florida, Donna Sines was recognized with a Congressional Commendation. Donna is also a National Distinguished Leader, receiving 20 Walt Disney Community Service Awards and grants. Additionally, she was honored as Regional Legacy Champion of Sustainability, Woman of Outstanding Leadership, and coveted Governor’s Community Investment awards, bestowed by Lawton Chiles throughout his administration.
