May’s Women in Leadership meeting will feature Scottsdale Unified School District Director of Communications and Marketing Kristine Harrington.
The meeting is scheduled for May 2 at Hilton Scottsdale Resort and Villas, 6333 North Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale, AZ 85250 from 11:50 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
Tickets are $75 for members and $90 for guests. A table of 10 is $700 for members and $850 for non-members.
Harrington’s journey embodies resilience and purposeful redirection. Since the third grade, she dreamed of becoming a news reporter, and her dedication paid off with a successful, Emmy Award-winning career in television news. However, life took an unexpected turn when she found herself as a single mom.
Realizing that the demanding nature of her job, with its 24/7 on-call requirement and a go-bag in her trunk was not conducive to being present for her daughter, Harrington sought a new path. She assessed where her skill set could provide value and purpose and transitioned into school public relations.
As director of communications and marketing for the Scottsdale Unified School District, Harrington has led award winning campaigns transforming the district’s approach to communications as well as her professional and personal life for the better.
Surprisingly, Kristine discovered that her newfound role brings her even greater fulfillment than she ever imagined it would or could.
