Kim Kline retires and Sally Stonage joins SU! as the new Volunteer Services Director
In 2007, luckily for us, Kim Kline made a huge shift in her life by transitioning from a large corporate for profit environment, to the non-profit world of Saddle Up!.
Each year to present, Kim brings her best corporate knowledge adjusted for the non-profit environment. She is a logistics, systems, and process genius who brings strategic insight, professional risk management, volunteer management expertise, and heart to our mission. Kim has adopted Elvis, one of our retired therapy horses, and they join each other for happy trails! This is not goodbye as Kim will continue to stay involved with Saddle Up! as a volunteer.
