Say Hi to Kara, our Interim Executive Director!

While we continue to mourn Sari’s passing, it was her fervent wish that Sustainability Matters staff carry on her life’s work. While we search for a full-time Executive Director, Kara Balcerzak has accepted an appointment as interim leader. Kara will be a familiar face to many, as she’s been helping us write grants and refine organizational strategy for several years. We’re thrilled to have her at the helm!

For more details, check out this recent article from The Northern Virginia Daily. And many thanks to those who have shared kind words on Sari’s memory wall.
