Kelly brings 30-plus years of nonprofit communications strategy, writing, graphic design, and media relations acumen to the Center. She crafts the outward brand of the Center, working with the entire Center team to shape our message for print and online publications, and constituent and media outreach. Kelly enjoys the challenge of communicating the impact of the Center’s rapidly evolving programs to long-time supporters and new audiences.
