Meet the Board

Andy Wingert is proud to serve as President of DOVIA and works as the Volunteer Coordinator at the St. Francis House, where he enjoys connecting people with meaningful ways to serve the community. Outside of work, Andy and his wife Laura love to travel, garden, and cook together, and they share their home with four very spoiled cats.

Open Position. 

My name is Bella, and I serve as the DOVIA Past President for 2026. My first experience coordinating volunteers was in High School as a Serving and Learning Together (SALSA) Youth Action Council leader. I continued on to serve on Augustana’s Serving and Learning Together (SALT) board for 4 years in college.

After graduating from Augie with a degree in Psychology, I worked in various human services positions until I entered the field of volunteer management as the Eastern Volunteer Coordinator with Feeding South Dakota. My current role is with The Helpline Center as the Volunteer Connections Manager. I love promoting volunteerism across the state. My greatest blessings are my two little ones, Brooks (3) and Isla (2), alongside my husband, Andrew.  

Open Position.

I'm Alyssa Albrecht, and I’m the Eastern Volunteer Coordinator at Feeding South Dakota. I bring previous experience in a Secretary role, having served from 2016-2017 with Toastmasters at Wells Fargo. During my time with Toastmasters, I also held positions as Sergeant at Arms (2015-2016) and Vice President of Membership (2017-2018).

​

My professional journey has included roles in processing, underwriting, and compliance in the mortgage industry, followed by a focus on solar energy loans. In 2023, I changed my career path and joined Feeding South Dakota’s Development team.

​

With a background in Psychology and as a registered yoga instructor, I’ve gained skills in clear communication, attention to detail, and organization. I am excited to serve as 2025-2026 DOVIA Secretary.
