Saying Goodbye with Thanks
Kathie Kentfield, our FIRST Senior Mentor in Connecticut, will be completing her term at the end of June. Kathie has been a member of the FIRST community since 2001, starting as a team mentor and parent for FRC team 173 and continuing on to become the co-founder of the Non-Engineering Mentor Organization (NEMO) and the FTC affiliate partner for CT. She has been the FIRST Senior Mentor for Connecticut since 2007.
Kathie has been integral not only to the FIRST programs in Connecticut, but to the entire FIRST community. Her dedication to supporting mentors, recruiting teams, conducting workshops, organizing events and volunteering across all four programs serves as an inspiration to us all.
We will miss Kathie as Senior Mentor but hope she and her husband, Jack, will have a little more time to relax, travel and be with the grandchildren. As Dean always says, there is no exit strategy from FIRST and we look forward to continuing to work with her as a key volunteer in the region.
As Kathie transitions, we will be filling the Senior Mentor position in CT. The position description can be found here and interested people should contact Carol Scully at [email protected].
