Currently serving as the Executive Director of the Agape Love Foundation, an organization just a little more than a year old, Cheryl Dunson has put her passion of volunteerism to work with many charities and groups in Southeast Tennessee throughout her career. After more than 27 years as the Executive Vice President of Marketing with Santek Waste Services, many know her most of all for her charitable ways outside of the office.
