Sara Glen
Director
Hi! I’m Sara Glen and am excited to be a part of Camp Korey’s Board of Directors! I look forward to helping the organization achieve its goals and continue to provide awesome experiences for kids and their families.
A few years ago was my first introduction to Camp Korey. I was touched by the personal stories coming from people who have been impacted by the Camp. Volunteering to be on the Board seems like small potatoes compared to the work being done on the ground at the Camp.
I’m an accountant by day, but an avid karaoke-goer and traveler at all other times. I have been to 47 US States (lacking Maine, Montana, and North Dakota), over 50 countries and counting (sang karaoke in 14 of them), 6 continents (Australia, here I come), and have done a Polar Plunge in both the Arctic and Antarctic Oceans!
