Faces of Mountain Brook: Anne Womack

You don’t have to have lived a long life in Mountain Brook to make an impact, as Anne Womack is showing.

 “I’m thankful to be a product of this community and even more thankful to have the opportunity to return home and serve it to the best of my ability,” Womack said.

Womack is the executive director of the Mountain Brook City Schools Foundation. The Foundation, made up of 36 dedicated Board members who are all active in the community, plays a huge role in the success of the community’s schools. Since 1995, the Foundation has given more than $4 million to the Mountain Brook School System for technology, professional development, and library enhancement.

Womack, after growing up in Mountain Brook and attending Auburn University, is dedicating her career to serving the community.

 “It’s so easy to serve a community where people are so engaged,” Womack said. “Teachers, administrators, parents and students all want to be a part of continuing to pursue excellence in our schools. Beyond that, the Chamber, city government, local merchants and residents all come together in a way that I’ve never seen in any other community.  That collaborative spirit and joint desire to see this community succeed on all cylinders is what makes it so special.”
