The new year will bring some changes to the faces of Gathering Waters. Read on for an update on GW staffing in 2015:
Sara DeKok, our long-time Associate Director and Member Relations Director will be moving on in January 2015 when she welcomes her second child and puts down roots in the Twin Cities. She has been a great friend and inspiring leader to all of us here at Gathering Waters and after 12 years with the organization, she will certainly be missed.
We wish her and her family the very best and are happy, knowing she will find a great opportunity in Minnesota to continue her incredible contribution to the conservation movement.
Kristin Swedlund, whom we welcomed as our new Program Assistant in August, will take on a new role as Gathering Waters’ Development Coordinator upon Sara’s departure. She has wealth of fundraising experience and is already proving to be a great asset to the land trust community.
And finally, we are eager to welcome a new Program Assistant in early January. Interviews are currently taking place, so stay tuned for a 
new face at the office door and voice on the phone!
