Recently named to N.C. Center for Nonprofits’ CEO Advisory Council, Bailey also serves on a number of nonprofit boards including Discovery Place, Inc., Women Executives and Women's Collective Giving Grantmakers Network (WCGN). She is co-chair of the WCGN 2015 National Leadership Forum, which is expected to draw women philanthropic leaders from across the U.S. to Charlotte this October.

Bailey previously chaired the boards of Women’s Impact Fund, Presbyterian Hospital Foundation, Mecklenburg Bar Foundation and First Presbyterian Church Diaconate, where she also served as an Elder. She has raised funds and other support for Girls on the Run of Charlotte, Carolina Breast Friends and Charlotte Ballet.
