September 2023 ushered in much change for BHCC, and we are here for it!

We proudly welcome and introduce our new President, Tessa McIlraith, MS, BSN, RN, and welcome BHCC Program Coordinator, Käaren Flint.

 

Tessa has been a longtime coalition member and shares a deep commitment to BHCC and Burlington-Edison youth. Tessa has worked for the Burlington-Edison School District for over ten years and is currently its District Nurse. Tessa is a change-maker, and we are ecstatic to have her at the helm of BHCC for the next two years. In her free time, Tessa loves being with her daughters and watching them explore sports, college, and life.

Welcome, Tessa!

 

We would also like to take the opportunity to thank our outgoing and now Past President, Jenny Cole. Jenny has been part of BHCC for several years, and we are deeply grateful for her dedication to BHCC’s mission, vision, and values. Thank you, Jenny, for everything you have done to keep the coalition moving forward and serving the Burlington Community.

 

 

Käaren Flint joins BHCC as their new Program Coordinator, providing the coalition with support through the Drug-Free Communities grant awarded to United General District #304. Käaren is a lifelong Skagitonian with a Community Outreach, Marketing, and Non-Profit work background. Käaren is passionate about her Burlington community and spends much of her free time volunteering for local non-profits and community events throughout Skagit County; you may have seen her before as the Berry Dairy Days Strawberry the last few years.

Welcome, Käaren!
