Hired as Executive Director in December 2002, Christi grew up in Washoe Valley and has over 15 years of management experience ranging from business to nonprofit. After graduating from the University of Oregon and teaching overseas, Christi returned home to northern Nevada and was happy to combine her passion for community involvement with employment. Recognized as one of the Reno Gazette-Journal’s “Ten in 2010″, Christi’s ultimate goal for KTMB is to achieve a society free of cigarette litter and shot-up televisions.
Deidre Kennelly, Program Director, deidre@ktmb.org
Deidre moved to the Truckee Meadows in 2008 and loves the great community and open space areas of northern Nevada. Before joining Team KTMB Deidre worked in Cultural Resource Management. Through her experience doing fieldwork in the Great Basin she gained an appreciation for Nevada’s lovely and varied landscapes. Deidre came to KTMB committed to taking the organization to the next level and brings with her a passion for recycling and keeping our community litter free. As the Program Director, Deidre works closely with project partners and sponsors to ensure the continued success of KTMB’s ten programs.
Morgan Tiar, Operations Coordinator, morgan@ktmb.org
Morgan and her husband started a small local business called EcoReno in July 2008 that was dedicated to sustainable products. Unfortunately the economic downturn led them to close EcoReno’s doors in December 2010, but challenges sometimes bring opportunity which is how we welcome Morgan as KTMB’s Operations Coordinator. What does an Operations Coordinator do? Everything. Including – but not limited to – volunteer coordination, community relations, community development and all of KTMB’s educational outreach efforts and education programs including Adopt-A-Spot, Waste Warriors™ and the revolutionary hands-on EcoArt program.
