Meet our 2024 Distinguished Honorees

The Rotary Club of Buckhead is delighted to honor Donna and David Allman at the 2024 Buckhead Foundation Gala as true representatives of the Rotary Ideal of Service Above Self. As the leader of Regent Partners, one of Atlanta's most successful commercial real estate firms, David developed or acquired more than $3 billion in real estate assets. Beyond his corporate success, David is dedicated to serving his community in numerous real estate, civic, and ministry initiatives.

David served as the Founding Chairman of the Buckhead Community Improvement District (BCID) for 20-years. He also helped establish Atlanta’s first affordable housing impact fund. Together with Donna, he has built transformative initiatives for the underprivileged in Nicaragua, culminating in the establishment of Opportunity International Nicaragua. This organization has made significant strides in fostering change through impactful programs in education, agriculture, community development, and tourism, yielding remarkable results.

The Allmans are courageous builders, creative problem solvers, and fearless advocates for the causes they hold dear. Whether addressing the affordable housing crisis in Atlanta, providing quality education and future prosperity for children in Nicaragua, or encouraging the spiritual formation of teenagers in YoungLife, David and Donna give tirelessly of their time, talent, and treasure with an unselfish eye toward making their communities better.

Started in 1999, the Buckhead Foundation Gala is the primary fundraiser for the Buckhead Rotary Foundation whose funds support several local community partners. To learn more about the Buckhead Rotary Foundation, go to www.buckheadrotary.com.
