| E. Alex Paris III |
Created by the WCCF Board of Trustees in 2012, the award recognizes an individual who serves as an exemplary member of the Board, wholeheartedly sharing his or her time, talent, and treasures to support the Foundation and its mission. The award is named in honor of Founding Trustee and Past Chairman of the Board, Richard L. White, and the inaugural award was presented to him in 2012.
During the award presentation at the Foundation's recent Legacy Celebration, White remarked, "When you are considering individuals in this community who are extraordinarily giving, it should be no surprise when the name Alex Paris comes to mind. Elected to the WCCF Board of Trustees in 2010, Alex has served on numerous committees including Executive, Development, and Personnel. Despite his busy schedule, he makes every effort to be present at as many Foundation meetings and events as possible . . ."
White went on to say, "When it came time to assign the role of Project Manager for the Brownlee House rehabilitation project, it was clear that no one was better suited to serve in this capacity than Alex (President of Alex E. Paris Contracting), who did not hesitate to undertake this important job. Not only has he helped in coordinating with contractors on the work that has needed to be completed but he has assisted in important development meetings with prospective donors to secure needed resources."
