A Note of Gratitude and Transition
After much thought and reflection, I have made the difficult decision to step down from Impact Athletics to focus more of my attention and energy on my family. While this choice is necessary, it does not lessen my belief in the importance of the work we've accomplished together or my appreciation for everyone who has been part of this incredible journey.
💙 This organization has meant the world to me. Being part of its mission has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities, meaningful relationships, and accomplishments we have shared together over the last 7 years.
🌟 As I step away, I am excited to share that Impact Athletics will be transitioning leadership to Julianne who has been an important part of our organization, and I have every confidence in her leadership, passion, and commitment to our mission. I know she will continue building on the strong foundation we've created together and lead Impact Athletics into an exciting new chapter.
📣I also encourage anyone who is passionate about our mission to consider getting involved. Nonprofits thrive because of dedicated people who generously share their time, talents, & leadership. We are always looking for incredible individuals who want to make a difference, help guide the organization forward, and continue the important work we have started together. Fresh ideas, new energy, and committed volunteers are what keep our mission strong.
🙏 To our amazing athletes, mentors, donors, and community members—thank you. Your encouragement, generosity, and unwavering support have made this journey truly unforgettable. It has been an honor and a privilege to serve alongside such dedicated, passionate, and caring people.
With gratitude,
Karen Ashmont
