On May 19 Kelli Graham shared her resignation letter effective June 2 to accept a position of challenge. Kelli’s resignation was not expected, in fact it was a shock, as in August Kelli would have celebrated twenty years in this position.
Over the years both staff and Regional Board members have relied heavily on her bookkeeping skills. Whenever a new project would arise, Kelli’s understanding of the complex financials would give the necessary information for planning. Her quiet demeanor did not obscure her grasp of the region’s finances.
Kelli’s letter stated clearly that she is, “grateful for the opportunity and years of work for the Christian Church in Kansas, and I wish you and all the staff the best.”
With Kelli’s help the job description has been updated and a search will begin to find a suitable replacement. Barb Koelling, Treasurer, is working closely with Susan White, CCK Corporate Secretary, to make the position available for possible candidates. Due to Kelli’s care and commitment, she will also assist in bookkeeping until a new person is found. Thank you for your patience and understanding during the interim.
Expressions of appreciation may be sent to the Topeka office, 2914 SW MacVicar, Topeka KS 66611.
