KCEDA staff is very excited to announce that they have recently added a new staff member to serve as Administrative Assistant. Her name is Kara Gegner, and she recently moved here from Wichita Falls, Texas with her husband Jordan who is learning to fly the F-15 at Kingsley Field.

Previously, Kara spent most of her early professional career working for a variety of businesses in Des Moines, IA. In this time, she worked at places such as Wells Fargo, where she was a Project Coordinator, Mortgage Compliance Advisors, where she served as an Executive Assistant, and Eyerly Ball Community Mental Health, taking on duties as an Administrative Assistant.

She is a graduate of Central College, receiving a degree in sociology, and has stated that she is currently working towards obtaining a Project Management Professionals Certificate. Looking at some other fun facts, Kara’s favorite hobby is yoga where she invested over 200+ hours to earn a certificate that gives her the ability to teach anywhere. She also happens to be a distant relative to aviation legends, the Wright brothers. KCEDA believes Kara will be a great fit for the organization, and is pleased to have her be involved in its efforts to further strengthen Klamath County’s economy.
