New Development Director

DMARC is pleased to announce that we have hired a new devolpment director, Kristine Frakes.

Kristine is an Iowa native who grew up near Lake Rathbun and the Missouri border.  She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice with a minor in Sociology from Grand View College.  She earned the distinction of Certified Fund Raising Executive (CFRE) in 2000.  Having previously worked in the public sector at the local and federal levels, for the past fourteen years she has focused her efforts on results-based resource development strategies to help central Iowa nonprofit organizations increase, manage and maximize limited resources while minimizing their vulnerabilities. Kristine and her husband Tim live in rural Polk County and have two children, Alexandra and Adam.

We're excited to welcome Kristine to the team, and we look forward to utilizing her expertise to help us build the good work we do.
