After 22 years as Branch Manager at Americas First Network Credit Union, Karen “retired” to raise her son. During this time volunteering in many capacities in the Region 17 school district and in local community activities. Last year she received the honor of being given the Sergeant George Dingwall award for her volunteer work with the PTO.

Combining her love of horses and community service she found her way to volunteering at High Hopes Therapeutic Riding in the winter of 2021. Karen volunteers in many different roles at High Hopes, something she finds great joy in.

In September 2021, Karen joined our team as an administrative assistant helping in our program and development offices.
