On behalf of the Friends of Kennesaw Mountain NBP board of directors, we are proud to announce the election of two new board members and a commitment to a contract employee approved at the quarterly meeting held on Tuesday, October 21st.
Please welcome Barbara Orsolits and Kirsten Berlin to the board.
Barbara has an extensive background in history and has been volunteering with us for some time as a Trail Ambassador. She will join the board as our secretary.
Kirsten has been volunteering on the trail club side for approximately two years, the last year as a crew leader. She will join as a member-at-large.
Both bring great experience and new ideas to the board and we are excited to have them join us!
Also, please congratulate current board member Kathy Bearden, who will now be our first contract employee responsible for Community Outreach and Events. Kathy has an extensive background in organizing community fundraising activities and we look forward to her helping us establish new supporters through these organized events.
As always, a heartfelt thank you to each of you for serving the park through volunteering.
It is an exciting time for our friends group, as we continue to grow and find new opportunities to support the park through philanthropy, supporting park activities, and diggin’ in the dirt!
To greater success,
Donald V. Olds President, Friends of Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park
