Karen replaces the accomplished and tenured Sections Director, Tanya Wyndham, who is now pursuing her long term goal of working in worship ministry. Karen, who has over 13 years of experience with nonprofits and associations, recently served as Executive Director of the American Institute of Architects, Orlando Chapter. Like the Atlanta Bar, AIA was divided into specialty groups within a larger organization. “Karen’s experience as the leader of a multi-faceted service organization made her a quality candidate to assume the important Sections Coordinator role. She has a measured and thoughtful approach to her work, which I know will serve her and the Association well”, shared Atlanta Bar Executive Director Terri Beck. Karen believes that her biggest challenge will be “making sure each Section feels as if they are the only one. I am up for the challenge and look forward to utilizing my experience and expertise in supporting the Sections and their members as they carry out their work. Everyone has been so kind in welcoming me to the organization and making me feel a part of the Atlanta Bar team.” Born in a military family, Karen lived In Hawaii during her formative high school years where she was exposed to a variety of cultures which she feels was influential in shaping her life outlook. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling with her husband, attending music festivals and staying in shape through Zumba workouts.
