Karen has her Masters in Education degree and is a retired public school teacher who enjoys the out-doors and volunteering. Her favorite subject is History - that is, when it is taught with stories that illuminate human striving. She came to preservation through her interest in gardening because she was delivering vegetables for a weekly fundraiser and ended up sitting in on meetings. She is currently the President of the Effingham Preservation Society (EPS). The Society received a Commendation from the NH Governor's Commission on Disability and a NH Preservation Alliance Award for rehabilitation projects on their 200-year old building - both during Karen's tenure. She also serves as a Trustee of the Trust Funds for the Town of Effingham.
