Blake represents Kansas CFs at conference

Sarah Blake, Hutchinson Community Foundation program associate, represented the Kansas Association of Community Foundations in June at the Lumina Foundation Peer Learning Opportunity in Indianapolis.

Joining her were Tim Peterson, senior project director for the Kansas Board of Regents, and Susan NeuPoth Cadoret, division director of business and community development for the Kansas Department of Commerce.

The Kansas group was among representatives from seven states who gathered to examine financing strategies to support adult learners as they strive to complete previously started work on a bachelor’s or associate degree. Peers were able to share existing strategies and ideas for future efforts.

Blake joined Hutchinson Community Foundation in 2016 where she oversees scholarships, grants and the Youth Philanthropy Council. She is a graduate of the University of Kansas and lives in Hutchinson with her family.
