Director of Development and Community Relations
Kate Bryan was born and raised in Arlington, VT and graduated Arlington Memorial High School in 1996. Immediately following her graduation, Ms. Bryan joined the workforce.
Following jobs that included work as an innkeeper, retail associate, front desk receptionist, the opportunity to fill the post of Development Officer at Maple Street School, an independent day school in Manchester, VT, arose. During her time at MSS, she helped to close out a capital campaign that had raised $5 million and created a successful annual fund campaign that totaled over $1 million during her tenure. In 2014, Ms. Bryan received the Timothy G. Scott Award for Leadership in Development from the Independent School Association of Northern New England.
In early 2015, Ms. Bryan sat on the Community Relations and Development Community at BVHC, volunteering her time on the first fundraising golf tournament for the organization. In March of 2016, Ms. Bryan joined Battenkill Valley Health Center as the Director of Development. Shortly after joining the team, BVHC was awarded $1 million which commenced the renovation project at 9 Church Street. Originally working closely with the renovation team from a development stand point, Ms. Bryan, using her “jack of all trades” work ethic, slid into the role of project manager, acting as the liaison between the contractors and BVHC. Throughout the renovations, she worked with contractors, staff members, and designers to help bring BVHC to where it is today. Using her knowledge and love for the town of Arlington, Ms. Bryan has worked to cultivate relationships within Arlington to bolster BVHC’s patient panel and philanthropic support.
