JACK­SON, Wyo. — The Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion of Jack­son Hole is pleased to announce the addi­tion of three new staff mem­bers and one inter­nal pro­mo­tion: Katie Kavanagh (Front Desk Assis­tant), Zuri Vasquez Bedol­la (Mar­ket­ing Asso­ciate), Con­nor Hart­nett (Finance Asso­ciate), and Bree Fabi­an (pro­mot­ed to Finance Officer).

Katie joined the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion in April 2026, as a Front Desk Assis­tant. In this role, she man­ages the front desk oper­a­tions, helps ensure the office runs smooth­ly, and pro­vides admin­is­tra­tive and logis­ti­cal sup­port to staff, events, and Old Bill’s Fun Run. Katie’s pro­fes­sion­al back­ground includes hands-on work with ani­mals and expe­ri­ence on sev­er­al ranch­es in the Jack­son Hole area. 

In the role of Mar­ket­ing Asso­ciate, Zuri sup­ports the exe­cu­tion of the Foundation’s mar­ket­ing and com­mu­ni­ca­tions strat­e­gy across key ini­tia­tives, includ­ing Old Bill’s Fun Run, grants, and pro­grams. Before join­ing the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion, Zuri worked in sales and oper­a­tions at RMC DMC, where she deliv­ered large-scale event expe­ri­ences for cor­po­rate clients and lux­u­ry brands vis­it­ing Jack­son Hole. Her back­ground also includes mar­ket­ing and strat­e­gy roles in the enter­tain­ment indus­try, a skin­care start­up, and a prod­uct design and brand­ing agency. 

As a Finance Asso­ciate, Con­nor plays a role in pow­er­ing Old Bill’s Fun Run and the Com­mu­ni­ty Foundation’s year-round finan­cial oper­a­tions. He brings expe­ri­ence in con­ser­va­tion pro­gram oper­a­tions, donor engage­ment, and grant-fund­ed ini­tia­tives from his time at the Teton Rap­tor Center. 

Bree joined the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion in April 2025 as a Finance Asso­ciate and was recent­ly pro­mot­ed to Finance Offi­cer. In this role, she over­sees day-to-day finan­cial oper­a­tions and super­vis­es the Finance Asso­ciate, con­tribut­ing to the Com­mu­ni­ty Foundation’s finan­cial over­sight and oper­a­tional effec­tive­ness. Before join­ing the Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion, Bree held cus­tomer ser­vice roles through­out the val­ley and served as an adop­tion coun­selor at the Ani­mal Adop­tion Center. 

“We are pleased to wel­come Katie, Zuri, and Con­nor and to rec­og­nize Bree’s pro­mo­tion,” said Lau­rie Andrews, Com­mu­ni­ty Foun­da­tion President. ​“As a dynam­ic and com­mu­ni­ty-mind­ed team, they will play a crit­i­cal role in advanc­ing our strate­gic mis­sion. Their col­lec­tive pas­sion and lead­er­ship will con­tribute to mean­ing­ful change as we con­tin­ue to build a com­mu­ni­ty where every­one can thrive.”
