The Board of Directors of the Fund spent Saturday, May 26th at the Presentation Center in Los Gatos, CA at a Retreat led by Maggie Callaway. We spent the day getting to know each other and our ideas for the future of the Fund when Kay Sweeney, Managing Director will step down in three years. We feel the program in Guatemala is strong and really benefiting the women and young girls we work with. Our challenge over the next three years will be to increase our income so that we can hire the necessary staff here in the US to keep the Fund going.
Below is word cloud of the Kateri Tekakwitha Fund’s strengths and opportunities.
It was a really nice day. Presentation Center is a wonderful place which lends itself to quiet reflection. Maggie has done a great summary of the day and we are beginning our follow up. I had my first individual interview with Board member Jessica Flores yesterday. We are on our way!
