We’re excited to share that Impact Alamance has been named a 2026 Zenith Awards winner for our 2025 annual report! Earlier this month, our Communications Director, Laura Fehlhafer, and Communications Specialist, Mollie Lund, traveled to New York City for the awards luncheon at the Edison Ballroom. They joined communications professionals from across the country to celebrate outstanding work in communications, public relations, and marketing.
Presented by Ragan and its Communications Week brand, the Zenith Awards recognize excellence in communications across industries. We’re proud to see our team’s work recognized on a national stage!
Over the past year, Impact Alamance has placed a stronger focus on strategic communications. In early 2025, Fehlhafer stepped into the Communications Director role, followed by Lund joining the team later that year. Together, they began implementing a strategic communications plan to better share our work, highlight community partnerships, and connect more people with opportunities to get involved.
Our 2025 annual report played a big part in that effort. Celebrating Impact Alamance’s 10th anniversary, the report looked back on a decade of progress and growth while highlighting how our work continues to evolve in response to the changing needs of Alamance County.
For the first time, we traded a traditional print report for a fully digital experience. The report featured eight original videos highlighting community members and partners, along with links to resources and opportunities to get involved. A big shout-out to East Ventures Digital for partnering with us to bring these videos to life! Centered on the theme of ripples of change, the report showed how collaboration and community-driven solutions can create lasting impact.
We’re proud that this project reflects both a milestone year for Impact Alamance and the ways we’re growing how we communicate, connect with our community, and share the people and partnerships behind our work.
We’re excited to build on this momentum and keep finding new ways to tell our community’s stories and invite more people to be part of positive change in Alamance County. Because meaningful change happens together, and sharing those stories helps the ripples grow.
