In this episode, Anette visits with Kate Rogers, Vice-President of Outreach and Community Engagement for the Charles Butt Foundation. Anette first met Kate through her volunteer work with the H-E-B Excellence in Education Awards initiative, and is excited to share Kate's varied experiences and knowledge about education. Be sure and take note of the #TeachersCan campaign, and get involved! Kate Rogers brings more than 25 years of experience in public relations, community engagement and nonprofit leadership to her work at the Charles Butt Foundation where she leads efforts to support and improve the quality of public education offered to all Bexar County students. This follows 18 years in corporate communications at H-E-B where she earned a reputation for creating programs that positively impact the organization and its community, from an employee stock program to an early literacy program and the state’s largest monetary awards program for public school professionals. Kate founded SA Works and a network of career-themed high schools known as the Centers for Applied Science and Technology (CAST) with the goal of building stronger partnerships with industry and the local school community. Most recently, Kate served as the founding President of the Holdsworth Center, a leadership institute for school administrators. When she is not working, you can find her cheering on her two sons at their favorite sporting events or sweating it out in the hot yoga room, her “ultimate stress relief.”
