PRATT NORTHAM FOUNDATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS ANNOUNCES
NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
The Pratt Northam
Foundation board would like to announce the selection of a new Executive
Director, Sarah Bullock.
Sarah joins the
Foundation with extensive community development experience, currently
serving as a part-time Community Development Specialist with the Town of Wilna. Her
experience in grant writing, project management and relationship building
made her an ideal candidate to further the Foundations impact throughout
local communities. Additionally,
Sarah has benefitted from the Pratt Northam mission in her previous role as
Board President at Hand in Hand Early Childhood Center, applying and
receiving grant funds for various projects.
“It is with great
regret that Karen Petersen has decided to leave us after a great tenure
serving us and the greater Lewis County community. Karen was a great
ambassador for the Foundation and helped us make a difference in the lives
of the citizens in the North Country.
We are very excited to have Sarah join us in our never-ending quest
to improve the lives of the people of the North Country. We are
convinced that her experience, enthusiasm, and commitment to our mission
will continue Pratt Northam's desire to change the course of the future in
the area. She will join her predecessors- Don Exford, Tom Yousey and Karen Petersen in promoting the goals of the
Foundation,” stated the Foundations Board President, Randy Schell.
“The Pratt
Northam Foundation has done wonderful work improving the quality of life in
the communities along the Black River Valley, and I couldn't be more
excited to be a part of this organization. I look forward to working with
the Board of Directors, as well as the communities it serves,” stated Sarah
Bullock, the Foundation’s Executive Director.
The Pratt Northam
Foundation, established in 1962, is a private foundation that seeks to be a
catalyst to projects that improve the quality of life in the communities of
the Black River Valley from Boonville to Carthage. The Foundation provides financial support
to not-for-profit organizations and government agencies through a grant
process, and values projects and opportunities for young people and other
innovative initiatives.
The Pratt Northam
Board of Directors is excited to work with Sarah in continuing to provide
funding to projects that increase the quality of life for youth and residents
living in the Black River Valley.
