About Kathi
I was: a Museum Educator, History Teacher, Sociology Adjunct,4-H volunteer Program Leader, Program Specialist for 2 Girl Scout Councils and I have 14 plus years experience as a Senior Program Development Specialist for Community Services. In addition to my undergraduate degree in Historical Studies, I earned a Master of Liberal Studies degree focused on Not-for-Profit Community Programs and Organizational Development. I was the NJ Representative/Region 2 for the National Association for Interpretation and I remain a professional member of NAI with additional training in Interpretation through Indiana University Eppley Institute. I also began a graduate certificate for History Teachers... but I may not get back to that!
I have benefitted from the experiences, opportunities and interactions I have had volunteering on Boards, Chairing Committees and especially learning 18th and 19th century historic food-ways. However, reliance on volunteers to be the face of a historic site, or the expert in a particular program works only -as long as it works. Volunteers, by definition cannot be required to keep a schedule. Sites usually have one opportunity to make an impression. An off-the cuff narrative, delivered to all audiences for years, with the same focus and highlights might led to unfortunate and unfriendly reviews on social media. Organizations and Institutions need to preserve history, protect artifacts and also interpret sites and engage audiences in ways that help visitors and volunteers make unexpected connections. I can help docents or guides learn to better read and understand their audience and connect.
Will South Jersey be represented?
I am excited about the coming 250th Anniversary of the founding of the United States. An 8 year planning process was started and we have 2 years left to prepare.
More to come as this anniversary approaches!
