Farewell to Kristen Fitzpatrick and
Welcome to Kendra Hodgson

Kristen Fitzpatrick, our wonderful Director of Distribution and Acquisition, is leaving the organization at the end of the month. After nearly 20 years with us, Kristen has accepted a position at Field of Vision as their Managing Director. While we are sad to see her go, we are excited for her new adventure. She has been an extraordinary asset to the organization, and we all look forward to her continued creative contribution to the industry!

As we see Kristen off, we are very excited to welcome Kendra Hodgson, currently the Director of Distribution & Marketing at Media Education Foundation, as our new Director of Strategy and Innovation.  We look forward to all the new insights Kendra will be bringing to the organization as well as her almost 20 years of experience in educational distribution and marketing. Watch for more news about Kendra, the staff and the organization in January.
