• Lynnette Watts
  Supportive of the Women’s Foundation of Arkansas since its founding, Lynnette brought her 20 years of diverse nonprofit experience to fill the executive director position in July of 2009. In her role she encourages women to become – or to see themselves as – philanthropists by educating them on the plethora of ways a small action or gift can make a significant and lasting impact on the future of Arkansas. Building the principle of WFA’s grant-making, operations, and Girls of Promise™ endowments to ensure that the Foundation’s work benefiting Arkansas’s women and girls continues in perpetuity is Lynnette’s primary goal.
