Billie Dollins, EVP/Regional President Central Region of Community Trust Bank, has earned the honor of 2023 Woman of Impact for Kentucky.

Billie, along with her volunteer campaign manager Julie Lynn Steele (owner of 100proof! Top Shelf Marketing), and team of 20 community leaders were relentless in their pursuit of fundraising and commitment to heart health education.

Through creative fundraisers and social media, they exceeded their goal and raised $53,500! This impressive total earned Billie and her team the prestigious honor of being in the American Heart Association Changemaker Club, one of only 31 Woman of Impact nominees nationwide who received Changemaker Club status. The nine 2023 Woman of Impact nominees and their teams throughout Kentucky raised $177,590 through fundraising and direct impact points. Kentucky was 10th in the nation in direct impact points. Thanks to Team Dollins and the other Woman of Impact nominees, the American Heart Association will continue to be a relentless force for longer, healthier lives!
