    About<\/h2>\n

    Sarah Batts brings more than two decades of experience as a non-profit leader to Shepherd Center. Today, she serves as the senior vice president of the Office of Advancement of Shepherd Center and the executive director of the Shepherd Center Foundation. She is responsible for all brand, strategic partnerships, professional education, injury prevention, community relations, fundraising, and volunteer endeavors at Shepherd Center.<\/p>\n

    Before joining Shepherd Center in 2016, Sarah enjoyed an eight-year tenure with the Piedmont Healthcare Foundation, where she served in various roles, including director of campaigns. Under Sarah\u2019s leadership, Piedmont\u2019s philanthropic support realized significant results, including successfully launching the largest campaign in the system\u2019s history. In addition, Sarah has also served in a variety of leadership roles with the Emory University School of Medicine and Children\u2019s Healthcare of Atlanta.<\/p>\n

    Sarah received her bachelor\u2019s degree from The University of the South and then received her master\u2019s degree in business administration from Loyola University Chicago.
