I am writing to let you know that Todd Klunk will be leaving OCDEL to join the W.K. Kellogg Foundation in Battle Creek, Michigan. The W.K. Kellogg Foundation "supports vulnerable children in the areas of educated kids, healthy kids, secure families, racial equity and civic engagement." This is a fantastic professional advancement and personal accomplishment for Todd and we wish him every success. Todd's new position will begin at Kellogg in September.
As Director of Finance, Administration, and Planning, Todd has been instrumental in the creation of OCDEL, development of successful early childhood systems, and building a renown team of OCDEL professionals. You may know that OCDEL has a strong national reputation envied by other states; this is in large part due to Todd's work.
I am writing this note with much happiness for Todd, Lisa, his wife, and their family as they embark upon this new adventure. This is also bittersweet for us as Todd will be sorely missed. Please share this news with others as Todd has many colleagues and friends in the Commonwealth and throughout the country. Please also be sure to wish him well as he enjoys his final weeks with us during this month of August.
Yours truly, Barbara Minzenberg
Deputy Secretary, Office of Child Development and Early Learning |
