After a national search, the Pines of Sarasota Foundation Board of Trustees has named Andrea Stephens as the organization’s new President. Stephens joined the Foundation as Director of Development in 2018 and has been serving as Interim President since September 2023. Her tenure as President began on January 1. Pines of Sarasota Foundation is dedicated to supporting Pines of Sarasota—its present and its future—and all the residents in its care, ensuring Pines’ skilled nursing residents can stay in the place they call home, with the care they need, and the love they deserve. Pines Foundation Board Chair Lori Sutton said, “We are confident we have found the best person to lead Pines of Sarasota Foundation. Andrea has experience, enthusiasm, a heart for our residents, and a vision for our future. We are lucky to have her as President.” A graduate of the University of South Florida College of Business, Stephens came to the Foundation following tenures at New College Foundation and USF Sarasota-Manatee. She brings a wealth of expertise in all aspects of fund development, donor relations, strategic planning, and programming.
