Spring 2017 Newsletter - Volume 8, Issue 2
ATB’s New Program Director Bringing with her a wealth of experience, energy, and enthusiasm, Dawn Doherty-‐Kohl was recently appointed by the Kennett After-‐School Association Board to serve as Program Director. Dawn succeeds Dori Carson, who served with distinction as After-‐The-‐Bell Program Director for four years.
Dawn began her relationship with ATB three years ago when her oldest son enrolled in the program and she signed up to volunteer. In August 2015, she joined the staff as Assistant Program Director. Dawn previously worked as a bank manager and on the staff of Longwood Gardens.
“I am so very excited to be the new Program Director at After-‐The-‐Bell,” Dawn said. “I love our schools and working with the students, volunteers and staff of KMS. This is my dream job—making a difference in our community with an outstanding organization . . . After-‐The-‐Bell.”
As Program Director, Dawn directs the day-‐to-‐day operations of the After-‐The-‐Bell program. She is onsite whenever students are in attendance, she supervises the part-‐time staff, and she is the liaison to all of the volunteers. Working with the Executive Director, the Program Committee Chair, and the Program Committee, Dawn also determines the activities to be offered each cycle and the facilitation of the activities by volunteers.
“Dawn has been a valuable member of the ATB family and I know the students and volunteers join me in congratulating her as she takes on this important leadership role,” said Executive Director Kathleen Meehan Do.
