Karen McCart
Foundation Specialist
Karen is an East Wenatchee native. She joined the Foundation in 2013 after spending 22 years at Central Washington Hospital in various capacities. Karen is the friendly face at the front desk that always has time to help, and her knowledge of the organization is surpassed only by her knowledge of the community. In addition to managing the day-to-day affairs of the office, she coordinates the scholarship programs, supports financial operations, and serves as the clerk to the Board of Trustees. Additionally, she’s a member of the Rotary Club of Wenatchee. When Karen isn’t at work or serving her community, she’s watching local sporting events, enjoying quality time with her family, and adoring her grandson, Jackson.
