PictureExecutive Director, Drama
  
  As a long time resident of Devon, Local's Executive Director, Katie Connor, feels that she has an invested interest in our town's prosperity. She has worked and volunteered with the youth in Devon since 2008. Although Katie spends a great deal of her time working behind the scenes at Local she also works directly with the youth on a regular basis, primarily as the proud director of the Mighty Morphing Drama Rangers. Katie loves to spend time outdoors and especially loves Devon's beautiful trails and river valley. Local is a huge source of joy in her life and she considers it a privilege to get to positively impact young people.

Come Together, Big Event
Though she’s soft and sometimes quiet she’s much more dorky than she would ever let on. Not the most active person however, she could spend hours drawing, listening to music, or learning new and incredibly odd facts; for example, slugs apparently have four noses. Aside from her unique hobby, there isn’t any who wants to lend a helping hand more. Always there to be a shoulder to cry on and someone to give honest, unbiased advice. She’s incredibly grateful to be able to work with the kids of Local to help the community.

​Trey has been coming to Local since it first opened. He loved participating in the events and volunteer work and has transferred that love to the programs that he leads now. He is eager to lend the youth a helping hand because he has been in their shoes and knows what a difference Local can make in their lives. He leads Big Events and Come Together with enthusiasm and the knowledge of what young people really want to do. He makes sure that Local is a special place for the youth that he works with, just like it was for him when he was growing up as a youth at Local.
