Who We Are

SBAK Board of Directors Announces New Executive Director - Monday, August 29, 2011

To all members of the Spina Bifida Association of Kentucky family,

     It is with tremendous pleasure that I introduce Colleen Payne as our new Executive Director. The Search Committee has worked very hard the past four months seeking out an individual who can take us to the “Next Level” with integrity and passion, and here she was in our own backyard! We had many, many resumes and letters submitted for this coveted position, and our search proved to be exhausting at times but it was well worth the effort to find the right person. And boy did we ever! Everyone associated with SBA from around the country and here locally within our own chapter know who Colleen is and the value she brings to this organization. The Board of Directors is excited and looks forward to working with Colleen and achieving our goals and plans for the future.
 

Colleen has served as SBAK's Program Coordinator for the past year and a half, and she has dramatically increased the number and value of programs offered to families across the state. She previously worked at Berea College as a Grant Writer and Development Communications Coordinator. Colleen has a bachelor's degree in Mass Communications from the University of Evansville and a master's in Journalism from Ohio University. She lives in Louisville with her husband Blake, 2-year-old daughter Georgia, and 5-year-old son Nate, who was born with Spina Bifida.

Welcome Colleen!

Chairman of the Board
President, Spina Bifida Association of Kentucky
