Seeking philanthropic engagement through relationships and sound stewardship, the Foundation is benefiting from Andria’s expertise, leadership style, and growth mindset. “I aim to inspire others by truly listening to their ideas and empowering them to think creatively and share their voices. Every person within our organization contributes to our collective success. While performance and results are essential, so are collaboration, empathy, and integrity. As my team and I invite others to invest in the College, our students, and our programs, it’s vital that I lead with the same integrity we ask of them.” While valuing effective teamwork, Andria is also especially passionate about mentoring students and young professionals, including Everett Robertson, who serves as the Foundation Board’s student representative. “Serving on our Board is a tremendous experience for Everett, who shows initiative and is not afraid to take chances. As young people learn and figure out what they want in life, they should always aim for integrity. Everett exudes that already, and we’re excited for his contributions to the Foundation and the College.” Palm Beach State has been educating the community since 1933, now with an annual $1.4 billion economic impact on Palm Beach County. In addition, the College has emerged as a leader in education through innovation for a myriad of fields, including STEM, engineering technology, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and health sciences. In fact, Palm Beach State’s Dental and Health Innovation building recently opened in Loxahatchee Groves, bringing cutting-edge medical technology and training to the County’s western communities. With significant funding for this advancement in medical innovation coming from Foundation donor and entrepreneur Frank DiMino, the power of philanthropy’s impact is on full display, something Andria recognizes with openness and humility. “We value every individual who chooses to get involved in a way that inspires them and uplifts others. Whether it’s through volunteering, mentoring, or financial support, each act of generosity strengthens our mission. Together, we’re building a legacy of goodwill and opportunity, and when people look to make a major investment, we want them to see Palm Beach State College as a driving force for growth and opportunity in Palm Beach County.” AndriaCunningham isnotonlybuildinggoodwillbutalsodemonstrating the will to do good, elevating opportunities, empowering others, and providing productive, heartfelt leadership with the Foundation for Palm Beach State College.
