KALEY BROWN LEAVES WHITTIER
Kaley Brown has departed from the executive director role at Whittier Alliance “after six deeply meaningful and action-packed years. There really is no way to adequately summarize the full impact of what this role brought to my life; I could never have imagined the unique opportunities, challenges, and triumphs we encountered. I will say that I am profoundly lucky to have worked alongside and learned from a number of incredibly talented, empathetic, and passionate staff members,board members, and volunteers over the past several years. Whittier Alliance is a foundationally strong organization that provides value in so many different ways to our community in no small part because of you.”
Brown is now the Ward 7 Policy Aide for council member Katie Cashman.
