Leadership
Patty Gibbs
Festival Chair
Patty Gibbs is honored to serve as the 2026 Festival Chair for Macon’s beloved Cherry Blossom Festival, celebrating the beauty, spirit, and sense of community that make our city so special. A dedicated nonprofit professional and community advocate, Patty brings passion, experience, and heart to every project she touches.
As the President & CEO of the Ronald McDonald House of Central Georgia, Patty supports families across Central and South Georgia during some of the most challenging times in their lives. Before Ronald McDonald House, Patty served as Executive Director of the Family Counseling Center of Central Georgia, and prior to that, held a leadership role at Wesleyan College as Vice President for Student Affairs and Enrollment Services. Her career is marked by over three decades of experience in nonprofit leadership, higher education, and fundraising.
Patty is deeply committed to service, collaboration, and making Middle Georgia a brighter place to live, work, and visit. When she’s not championing causes or organizing events, you’ll find her enjoying time with her family, exploring Macon’s rich culture, or admiring the blossoms that make spring in Macon truly magical.
Patty is thrilled to help lead this year’s Festival and looks forward to celebrating “The Pinkest Party on Earth” with neighbors, visitors, and friends—old and new.
