Meet Karen
Accountant
While Karen didn’t know much about SWIF before she started, she liked the idea of working at a nonprofit, and the friendly atmosphere. More than 15 years later, she is still here. Karen is part of the accounting team and has also worked with the Microenterprise Loan Program. Karen has a bachelor’s degree in accounting and was an accountant in the insurance and manufacturing industries before starting at the foundation.
Karen enjoys time on the lake, gardening, shopping at flea markets and antique shops, small projects around the house and yard, and time with her kids. Karen has volunteered with Sunday School, Youth Committee, school events, and the Red Rooster Days festival in Dassel.
