LCWM Executive Director Kim Karn will step down from her position on October 23, 2026 to pursue a new career opportunity.

“It has been a great honor to serve the Land Conservancy of West Michigan and its mission for the last seven years, through our milestone celebration of 50 years of keeping nature nearby,” Kim said. “As I prepare for an exciting new role, I take heart knowing that LCWM is in a strong position to build upon our successes as the organization turns its focus to the next 50 years of conservation.”

We will miss Kim and are deeply grateful for her service! A search committee has been formed to conduct a search for Kim’s successor. An interim executive director will be named later this month. Read more: https://naturenearby.org/lcwm-announces-departure-of-executive-director-kim-karn/
