Reach Out and Read Minnesota Announces New Executive Director
Reach Out and Read Minnesota, an early literacy nonprofit, is pleased to announce that Kristen Hoplin has been selected as the new executive director by the organization’s board of directors.
Hoplin begins her new role as executive director on April 1, 2018. She succeeds Lynne Burke, who is retiring after 16 years with the organization. Burke, a former children’s book reviewer, guided Reach Out and Read Minnesota’s evolution from a chapter organization to a standalone nonprofit and was devoted to increasing the availability of bilingual books in hard-to- find languages such as Somali, Hmong, Karen, Burmese, and Ojibwe.
