Thank You, Kate!

Our last speaker of 2026 was our very own, Kate A. Ekman, CVA! 🎉

Kate presented on mobilizing volunteers in a time of disaster and how to prepare your own disaster plan. Our members were able to ask questions and think about how they organize volunteers in heat and other disasters.

Thank you again Kate for your amazing presentation!
