During her tenure at Dixon Hall, Kara has been a tremendous asset to the organization. Shortly after joining the fundraising department, she was required to take on additional duties and play a greater leadership role while the Director of Development was on leave. In my role as a consultant, serving in an acting capacity, Kara has been a pleasure to work with. Eager to learn, willing to take on new responsibilities and a dedicated and caring team player.
