Randy Redner, President & CEO

As President and CEO of the Community Foundation, Randy Redner is the driving force behind the work being done. Whether he’s sharing the work the Community Foundation is doing and encouraging people to open a fund or rolling up his sleeves to provide leadership around a specific community issue such as poverty, education, health care or the arts, Randy is dedicated to carrying out our mission.

Prior to joining the Community Foundation in 2015, Randy spent 20 years in the corporate world before transitioning to the nonprofit sector. In 2000, he became the Executive Director of Habitat for Humanity North Fulton, leading that organization to national recognition. Then, in 2005, Randy had the opportunity to move to the American Cancer Society. While at ACS Randy was responsible for the largest Relay For Life event in the world, growing the Gwinnett Relay to over $2.5 million. These successes led Randy to be promoted to vice president for Georgia, overseeing all income, mission and advocacy outreach for ACS from 2010 to 2013. In 2013 Randy had the opportunity to move to The United Methodist Children’s Home to help rebuild their fundraising, marketing & communications and volunteer programs.

Today, as he leads the Community Foundation, Randy’s favorite part of his job is connecting people who care with causes that matter. Because, as he says, it’s all about the people!

Randy’s also heavily involved in other organizations and is on the board of the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, the Gwinnett Coalition, United Way, Gwinnett Medical Foundation, GCPS Foundation and the Primerica Foundation. He’s also the president elect for Duluth Rotary and a study group leader for Leadership Gwinnett.

A Valdosta State University alumnus, Randy also has an MBA from Mercer University.

Randy and his wife LaNita have two grown children, Katie (married to Erik) and Kyle (married to Melissa), and recently welcomed their first grandchild.

Randy’s dream for the Community Foundation: “Being a leader in helping the communities we serve be wonderful places to raise a family.”
