Welcome Amy Millikan ~ Camp Blue Skies' New Development Director!
We are excited to welcome Amy Millikan to our Camp Blue Skies team. Here is her bio and how she came into our family. With Amy working her Development magic, we believe Camp Blue Skies will continue to grow for many years to come. How did we find Amy?
Dick (our Founder) met Amy through Shana Plott, who helped us initially with fundraising and has continued to help behind the scenes with computer projects (thank you Shana!). Dick met Shana through Kathi Knier who is the Development Director for InReach (a nonprofit organization that provides residential and community supports and services for children and adults with developmental and other disabilities in residential and community settings). InReach sends many campers to our North Carolina Camp. In the end, thanks to these great wonderful women and their involvement with our camper community, we found Amy!
