Kelly brings nearly 15 years of experience in building nonprofit organizations with specific involvement in building consensus among varied stakeholder groups and working on safety-related issues. She also has a background as a communications professional with extensive experience in media relations, strategic planning, and public policy. She is excited to become immersed in the damage prevention industry and looks forward to meeting with many stakeholders in the coming months.
