Kim Weaver, a resident of Follansbee, WV, brings extensive business and nonprofit leadership experience to the Empower and Link Board of Directors. With a successful 23-year career in radio advertising and over two decades leading Weaver Media Group, Kim exemplifies entrepreneurial vision and strategic growth. Her leadership at the Weirton Christian Center showcases her dedication to community service, where under her guidance, the Center expanded from serving approximately 45 children to supporting around 200 annually, aged 3 to 18, along with their families. The Center offers vital services such as transportation, meals, basic necessities, and supportive programs that address comprehensive community needs.

Kim’s relentless commitment to helping families in crisis—whether securing food, emergency housing, or critical support—directly reflects the mission of Empower and Link. Her actions embody the organization’s core values of compassion, responsiveness, and collaboration. She exhausts every connection and resource to meet immediate needs, not only addressing urgent situations but also reinforcing Empower and Link’s goal of empowering individuals through access, advocacy, and community-based solutions.

Her deep involvement with the community extends through her participation in Rotary International and her Board service at A Child’s Place CASA, further strengthening her capacity to build supportive networks for vulnerable populations. Guided by her faith and inspired by Matthew 25, Kim believes in the potential of every person and is committed to walking alongside those dedicated to making positive change.

As a widow, Kim cherishes her family, including her biological son Lakin, bonus son Justin and his wife Jessenya (who made her a proud "Mima" to Alaiya), bonus daughter Breona and her husband, and she is also "Mima" to Iverson, son of Breona and her husband Paul. Her unwavering dedication to serving children and families, coupled with her strong faith and extensive network, makes her an invaluable asset to Empower and Link. Her leadership will continue to advance the organization’s mission of creating meaningful, positive community impact through compassion, advocacy, and collaborative support.
