Monthly Update from the Executive Director
Dr. Katharine Robershaw
I am excited to share that I have officially taken on the role of Executive Director for MPower, starting on December 2nd. As I settle into this new chapter, I have been working closely with Travis to ensure a smooth transition as we move into the new year.
In these first few weeks, I have had the pleasure of meeting the incredibly dedicated staff at MPower. It is clear to me that this is a group of individuals who truly care about the people they serve. The passion and commitment that everyone brings to their work are evident in everything they do. I feel incredibly fortunate to be stepping into an organization where such a strong work ethic and great culture already exists. It is apparent that a lot of time and effort have been put into cultivating this environment, and I am thrilled to be a part of it.
I have also had the opportunity to meet with the Board of Directors, who are integral to fostering and maintaining MPower's positive culture. Their dedication to the organization’s mission and values is inspiring, and I look forward to working with them to continue the great work already being done.
A little about me - I come to MPower with a background in education, vocational rehabilitation counseling, and leadership within Goodwill Industries. I hold a doctoral degree in Public Administration/Nonprofit Management, which has equipped me with the tools and experience to lead with a focus on service, collaboration, and growth.
My family and I recently relocated from Oklahoma, and we have quickly fallen in love with this area. We are so excited to be here and are settling in nicely. It is truly a wonderful place to call home, and we look forward to all the opportunities it offers.
As we look to the future, I am energized by the incredible work MPower does and am eager to contribute to its ongoing success. I am committed to ensuring that our organization continues to thrive and positively impact the lives of those we serve.
Thank you for the warm welcome. I look forward to working alongside each of you through this exciting journey ahead!
