As I step down from my role at The Literacy Center, I want to express my deepest gratitude to each of you for your unwavering support. It has been a true honor to serve this incredible organization and community, and I have cherished every moment of working alongside such dedicated learners, volunteers, staff, and supporters.
While I am excited for what’s ahead, I’m also deeply sad to be leaving The Literacy Center. This organization—and the people who make it what it is—will always hold a very special place in my heart.
I’m thrilled, however, to introduce Kim Khatibi as the new Executive Director. Kim brings a wealth of experience in education, community leadership, and advocacy. Her background includes classroom teaching in Special Education and ESL, serving as reading faculty at the college level, and leading student-centered programs that uplift and empower learners of all ages. Kim is a passionate advocate for public education and equity, and I have every confidence that she will lead The Literacy Center with vision, compassion, and strength.
