Cece Kennedy joined the staff in October
The team at Highlands Council continues to grow! Cece Kennedy recently jumped on board as our new program coordinator.
Her primary responsibilities include coordinating and managing the community events that our neighbors look forward to every year. She hopes to grow and expand programs and events in order to reach even more people within the Issaquah Highlands community.
“I am really excited about meeting so many new people and helping to plan and participate in some awesome outdoor summer events,” she said.
As an avid gardener, she’s also excited to take on organization and management of the community gardens.
Cece says she chose to join Highlands Council because of its mission to foster the development of a vibrant and caring community committed to service, diversity, stewardship and well-being. She also wanted to be part of something that brings the community together and makes people happy and proud of where they live.
“Having only been here a few weeks, I can already tell that I’m going to love it here,” she said. “The Highlands Council team has been extremely welcoming, supportive and is beyond dedicated to services they provide for the community. I’m thrilled to be part of the team!”
Prior to working at Highlands Council, Cece worked as an outdoor preschool teacher in Redmond. She loves being outdoors and exploring the gorgeous PNW wilderness.
When her kids were younger, most of her free time was spent volunteering in the community. On top of that, she’s been a girl scout troop leader for nine years.
