Volunteer Spotlight: Trenda Metcalf

We cannot say it enough- the Unbridled Eve Derby Gala could not happen without our incredible volunteers and committee members. This month, we are honored to spotlight Trenda Metcalf, Chairperson of the Décor Committee and one of the creative forces behind the breathtaking look and feel of Unbridled each year. 

Trenda has been part of Unbridled since the very beginning and has a deep history with the York sisters. She and Tammy met in high school and have remained close friends ever since. Their shared vision, creativity, and love for community have helped shape the elegance and heart that define every Unbridled event. 

A proud graduate of the University of Louisville, Trenda holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree. She began her career at GE as a customer service representative and worked her way up to her current position as Area Sales Manager, a testament to her hard work, professionalism, and leadership. Trenda and her husband Jay live in Louisville and are proud parents of two daughters. 

As Chair of the Décor Committee, Trenda leads the team responsible for creating the stunning atmosphere that guests enjoy each Derby Eve. Beyond décor, she is known for going above and beyond. securing exceptional silent auction items, rallying her family to volunteer, and ensuring that every detail reflects the Unbridled spirit of excellence and generosity. 

A dedicated professional, devoted wife and mother, and true Unbridled ambassador, Trenda exemplifies the heart and grace of our volunteer community. We are deeply grateful for her years of service, leadership, and friendship, and we celebrate her as one of the remarkable women who help make Unbridled unforgettable.
