A Decade of Hope, Opportunity and Commitment in Action

Ten years ago, Karenne Levy became President & CEO of MacDonald Training Center. Since then, she has spent a decade doing what she does best: putting people first, believing in what’s possible, and turning hope into action.

Today, August 1, 2026, we celebrate ten years of Karenne’s servant leadership – and, despite her best efforts to deflect the attention, we’re going to talk about her. More importantly, we’re going to celebrate what happens when hope is put into action.
