Sara Kircher, Secretariat
Over the course of her career, Sara Kircher has worked with multiple local and national nonprofit organizations, as well as supporting her church. In partnership with her husband, Sara is proud to have raised two daughters who are outstanding young women (it’s a mother’s prerogative to be biased!). Today, she enjoys participating on a regular basis in the lives of her two terrific grandchildren (again, a grandmother’s prerogative to be biased!). And, she loves supporting the important work of AHH.
