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. |
