Taking on Special Assignments:
Versatility is Key: The Executive Director and the Executive Committee may entrust me with additional tasks that fall within KAKC’s objectives. This flexibility allows me to contribute my skills and talents in various areas.
Project-Specific Support: I may be assigned to assist with specific projects, manage committees, or lead initiatives that align with KAKC’s goals.
