With more than ten years’ experience at the Texas Association of School Boards and Texas PTA, Kate brings extensive experience to PlanNorth in the area of education and bond planning. Kate has a heart for youth and non-profits, and she has the know-how to see even the most tedious of projects through to completion successfully. Kate’s leadership experience helps PlanNorth to identify ways that facilities can support really positive educational and community outcomes, as well as push projects to create maximum community value. Kate currently serves as board chair for Urban Roots, a farm-based youth leadership program, and dedicates much of her spare time as a volunteer for her local Partners in Education Foundation. An Austin native, Kate and her husband Pat are loving the chance to spend time and make memories with their newest granddaughter.
