Donell Barriere
Director of Community Engagement
Spreading the Word, Building the Community
When it comes to connecting people and rallying the community, Donell Barriere is the face—and the heart—of the Central Texas BBQ Roundup. As the Director of Community Engagement (DCE), Donell brings BBQ and community together by partnering with groups like the Lions Club, Rotary Club, local schools, and even quilting clubs to spread the word about the CTBR. His mission? To showcase why this annual event is a must-attend celebration and inspire Central Texans to show up and join the fun.
Donell takes his experience as a construction foreman and safety professional and applies it to the art of community engagement, creating a synergy that reflects the “Roundup” spirit in every sense. From small-town gatherings to larger events, Donell’s positive energy and commitment to building connections make him the perfect ambassador for CTBR.
So, if you see Donell’s smiling face at your local club or organization, don’t be shy—ask him about BBQ, community building, and why the CTBR is a can’t-miss event for all of Central Texas!
