Leah Roth
Executive Director

As Executive Director for Woven Community Development, Leah Roth dedicates much of her time to integrating Woven into the fabric of the city of Rochester.  Leah connects weekly with local non-profits, civic groups and businesses to build relationships, offer volunteer services, share knowledge and bring hope to this city.  She has spent over two decades coordinating volunteers for community service, holds a degree in organizational management and has past experience in human resource.  


Leah’s desire is to see Woven become a grassroots movement for revitalization and flourishing in our city. If she isn’t putting golf balls with her boys in the yard, baking cookies to share, or enjoying her large family, you can find her sipping a good cup of coffee with a book in hand.
