Ron Alston joined the RSF Board in September 2009. Ron has strong finance experience and serves as relationship manager to nonprofit organizations in Atlanta, Georgia, in his role as First Vice President at SunTrust Bank.
“I am happy to join the RSF Board. I’ve had the pleasure of being an RSF client as the board treasurer for the Waldorf School of Atlanta and as an SIF investor for the past two years. I consider it an honor to work with a leader in the field of social finance and look forward to bringing my banking experience to bear on behalf of RSF,” says Ron.
Ron is responsible for providing credit, depository, treasury and other banking services to nonprofits. Ron’s major clients include the YMCA, American Cancer Society, United Way, City of Atlanta and the Paideia School. He’s been with SunTrust Bank for 22 years, the last six in the Not-for-Profit and Government Banking Group. Prior to his current assignment, Ron was a Credit Officer in the Corporate & Investment Banking Division.
Ron enjoys serving the community as Board Chair for the DeKalb Advisory Board of the United Way, as a board member of the Decatur-DeKalb YMCA, on the advisory board of Hillside, Inc., on the Finance Committee of the Waldorf School of Atlanta, and as a member of the 2008 class of Leadership DeKalb.
“I saw the chance to join the Not-for-Profit and Government Banking Group at SunTrust as a unique opportunity to blend my professional and personal interests. It’s rewarding to use my skills to help nonprofit organizations to meet their goals. I’m especially proud of my work with the Waldorf School of Atlanta, helping the school to build its financial capacity and more efficiently serve the families in the Waldorf community.”
Originally from Philadelphia, he earned his bachelor’s degree from Northeastern University in Boston and his MBA from the Wharton School. He is married to the former Stacey Lewis and is the father of three sons, Christopher, Matthew and Brandon. Ron sings, plays tennis and likes to read. He enjoys coaching and supporting his boys in their various activities.
RSF is thrilled to welcome Ron to the Board of Trustees and we look forward to working with him in the years to come.
