A History of Success:
What colleagues say about Karen’s approach
“Karen places an emphasis on developing collaborative efforts that help organizations be more effective and productive. She was able to secure resources for many community agencies in central Kansas, including our Communities in Schools program, through arranging for AmeriCorps students with a nearby college-based AmeriCorps program to augment agency programs.”
Marian Poe, Board Member, RCCCF, Board Member, Rice County Communities That Serve (previously Communities in Schools), Accountant
“Karen’s research led to the acquisition of federal funding (in conjunction with the Massanutten Technical Center) and State funding through such entities as the Virginia Literacy Foundation and the Department of Education. On the local level, she acquired funding through the United Way and local civic organizations. Her grant writing and management skills were essential in the establishment of this fledgling organization and enabled us to put together a reserve fund of 30% of our annual budget.”
Lois Jones, Director, Massanutten Library System, Board Member, Skyline Literacy
