“I have had the pleasure of working with Kari Yatkowski as a community volunteer, a donor and a fellow Board Member. There are two things that set Kari apart in all these endeavors: her passion for the people and causes she dedicates herself to, and her keen understanding of what needs to be done to achieve stated goals. Many organizations flounder because they establish appropriate goals, but lack the right people with the skills and leadership needed to achieve them. Kari understands how to analyze an organization’s strengths and weaknesses, put the right people in the right positions, and get buy-in, from leaders and from communities. In other words, Kari knows how to get results.”
