Napa Valley Vine Trail Coalition
Shawn Casey-White
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
As Executive Director, Shawn is responsible for the Vine Trail Coalition’s programs and the execution of its mission including fiscal management, fundraising, organization, strategy, and operations.
Shawn has an impressive background in fast paced, dynamic, healthcare, public health, and philanthropic pursuits. She spent twenty-six years in various roles for the American Heart Association and most recently as the Senior Vice President of Field Development and Operations for the Association, where she spent five years building power partnerships and tripling philanthropic investment in Los Angeles to address the social influences on health equity.
Shawn and her husband have returned to their roots in Napa to be closer to family and close friends. Her great grandfather moved to St. Helena in 1915 and various family members have made the valley home ever since. Shawn is happy to make the Napa community her home again and is honored to invest her resources in this unique valley and in the Napa Valley Vine Trail project.
