Mary Hendley

Mary is the Development Director and Assistant General Manager for WBHM. She oversees fundraising for the station, including underwriting, membership, special events, and major gifts.

Mary is originally from Pittsburgh, home to three public radio stations, and she was a member of each. She met her husband, Steve, a Nashville transplant going to graduate school in the Steel City, while completing her masters in Information Science. Little did she know that Steve was secretly a rabid Pittsburgh Steelers fan and she was destined to spend every Sunday cooking brunches or dinners for family and friends while watching the Steelers on The Sunday Ticket (ask her about the satellite dish on the van caper).

Mary and Steve have lived in Birmingham for over 20 years, where she worked for several non-profits before finding her calling in public radio. Her kids, Johanna (age 17 - she's on the road - look out!) and Sarah (14) are now much more impressed with her, and have even grown to like some of the programming! (OK, not really, but we keep hoping.)

Mary and Steve have a menagerie that includes their 2 daughters, 2 dogs, 3 cats, and a turtle.

You can reach Mary at mary@wbhm.org with any questions about becoming a member or underwriter of WBHM.
