New Executive Director starting in June!
We are thrilled to announce that Kimra McAfee will be joining AWG as our new Executive Director (ED). She has been ED of Friends of Sausal Creek in Oakland since 2009, providing oversight for the organization's restoration, education, and monitoring programs. She managed field staff, oversaw finances, wrote and administered grants, led other fundraising efforts, and provided leadership in community outreach. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in English from University of California, Berkeley, and a Master of Arts in Geography and Human Environmental Studies from San Francisco State University, where her thesis was a post-audit of New Melones Dam on the Stanislaus River. Kimra treasures every moment she has with her two teenage daughters and husband, and she enjoys baking all her family's bread and hiking; in her new home, she hopes to have more time for playing her banjo and mandolin and for gardening.
Kimra is currently searching for a home for her family in Gardnerville. She will be starting with AWG on June 20.
