On the eve of the annual Highland Lakes Legacy Fund Celebration of Giving Thursday, Nov. 17, it was announced that Kathy Fletcher will become the executive director of the fund, effective Jan. 1.
She will oversee donor relations, program implementation, fundraising, and community awareness from fund headquarters in Marble Falls.
The announcement came from Austin Community Foundation, the umbrella organization of which Highland Lakes Legacy Fund is a branch. The 80 different funds of Highland Lakes Legacy Fund stands now at $4 million providing scholarships and grants in the amount of $7.27 million to students pursuing educational goals and nonprofits serving the community.
Fletcher will follow former county judge Donna Klaeger, who has served as interim director since Midge Dockery left the fund last year to join the Marble Falls Economic Development Corporation (MFEDC) staff.
