A Note From Our Staff

Hello BEST Kids Family,

This past year has been one of transitions for so many of us. Our mentors and mentees have transitioned between various stages of in-person and remote schooling and work. Our mentoring work has transitioned from virtual mentorship, back to in-person mentorship. And our organization itself is transitioning from the valued leadership of Executive Director Krislyn Mossman to an Interim Executive Director to help create a smooth transition - me. I'm thrilled to join the BEST Kids family as I, in turn, help BEST Kids transition to its next permanent executive director in 2022.

In the meantime, I and the BEST Kids board and staff thank you for all you have done - and continue to do - making sure we provide meaningful, one-on-one relationships for our mentees with a trusted adult. I look forward to meeting many of you over the next few months and thanking you in person, as we all look to even more opportunities to get together with mentees and each other.

Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or just want to say hello (you can reach me by email at ed@bestkids.org), and I'll keep you posted during this time of transition as we all soon welcome a new Executive Director in 2022.

Sincerely,
Ed Spitzberg
