  • I had the great pleasure of serving on the Board of Directors of the Association for Mountain Parks Protection and Enjoyment (AMPPE) during Kim’s time as Executive Director. Her skills at GR as well as stakeholder relations were extremely impressive. A strong administrator who can effectively, efficiently and convincingly relay information to her board, team or shareholders. Happy to be one of the many who would endorse her without hesitation.

Kimberly was always extremely well informed and was able to develop solid plans to help advance patient access to medicines while working collaboratively with all stakeholders. She is a positive and energetic individual who gets things done and she's a pleasure to work with.
