WHRO President and CEO Bert Schmidt Named Outstanding Nonprofit Leader

WHRO President and CEO Bert Schmidt was recently named Outstanding Nonprofit Leader by the Association of Fundraising Professionals – Hampton Roads (AFP-HR). Since 2007, Bert has served as President and CEO of WHRO Public Media, passionately championing local communities through innovative programming and transformative educational services. Bert’s leadership has been most evident during periods of financial crisis. Following the recent loss of federal funding, he implemented a decisive two-part strategy: reducing operational costs while launching a targeted fundraising campaign, the Champions Circle Campaign, which successfully raised $2.8M—allowing WHRO to maintain uninterrupted service to the community. Notably, this mirrors his earlier success in 2010, when he led the organization through the loss of state funding and spearheaded the Independence Campaign.

PETERSTOWN- Just off of Route 219 in Peterstown, sits an 80 by 80 foot building up on the top of a rolling green hillside. Built by a local, one can tell that this barn-like structure is new. The deep red paint on the outside is far from chipping stage, and there is no wear and tear yet anywhere. However, when one walks inside, the atmosphere makes it feel like this town hub has been here for decades on end. Upon entering Appalachian Country Store, the customer is immediately immersed in the community. Shelves are stacked with homemade pumpkin bread, pepperoni rolls, pastries and more. Fridges full of local dairy and high-quality meats line the walls, and friendly local staff are hard at work in the back kitchen, ringing up customers, or making sandwiches at the Deli. Jeff Miller, owner, tells WVDN how the place first got started. Originally from a large Amish community in Holmes County Ohio, Miller, also a minister, “moved with his little flock” to Monroe County WV, to escape growing congestion up north.
