Moving Forward
with focus
Dear Friends,
As we move through a period of transition and reflection, I want to take a moment to share my gratitude for the dedication, support, and commitment that each of you continues to show to Amarillo Area Foundation and the communities we serve.
Recently, we experienced the profound loss of our long-standing President & CEO, Clay Stribling, who was a guiding force in the Foundation’s success. Clay led with integrity, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to our mission, and his legacy continues to inspire all of us who were fortunate enough to work alongside him.
While the path ahead may present challenges, I am incredibly optimistic about the Foundation’s direction. The strength of this organization lies not just in its leadership but in the collective efforts of our dedicated Boards, staff, partners, and the community we serve. We are more than a foundation—we are a network of individuals and organizations united by a shared commitment to improving lives and creating lasting impact.
As we continue to work through this transition, we will remain focused on our core values: respect, integrity, collaboration, and innovation. We are more determined than ever to stay true to our mission and to honor the trust you have placed in us.
I am excited about the future and look forward to working together to tackle the challenges and embrace the opportunities that lie ahead. I am deeply grateful for your continued support and for being part of this incredible journey.
With appreciation,
Keralee Clay
Interim President and CEO
