Mitzi Richards has retired from Kansas State University Foundation after 20 years of service, most recently in the role as senior director for corporate relations.  Mitzi is shifting her career to launch and lead a “family office” aligned with Raymond James Investments out of Tampa.  We will miss Mitzi at our NACRO gatherings and her forever purple accessories to match the colors of KSU.  The Board of Directors would like to extend our sincerest thanks to Mitzi for her 10 years of service to the NACRO organization, including: conference planning committee (2008-2011), VP – External Relations (2012), Co-President (2013-14), Past President (2014-15), Nominating Committee (2014-15) and Benchmarking Committee (2015-16).  Mitzi was also part of a three person team who traveled to Santiago Chile to educate international colleagues about the best practices and lessons learned from U.S. corporate relations offices.  Mitzi, and others who helped to launch NACRO a decade ago, was an instrumental part of helping to build the foundation for the next 10 years of growth and success for the organization.  If you would like to connect with Mitzi, you can reach her via email at:  mitzidalerichards@gmail.com
