OUR BOARD MEMBERS
Emily Killham
President
My husband, Owen, and I have two boys at Kloefkorn in 2015-16, 3rd grade and K, and a new baby to keep me company at home. My professional background is in organizational engagement and improvement and I have spent time serving on several boards in other organizations. I look forward to bringing that energy to continuing the work the earlier boards have done. In the past, I have been active in Fun Night, after school programs, and school picture day. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, cultivating our Little Free Library, and listening to live music.
Shanti Gangadharan
President Elect
I’m Shanti Gangadharan, married to Sagar Damle and we have two children, Karuna (2nd) and Anandi (preschool). I am a mother all the time and a part time business development/marketing manager with ClientSolv Technologies. At home and work, my life is about managing activities, money, and the overall happiness of my team! I am interested in joining the Kloefkorn PTO board to help grow our sense of community and happiness among our students, teachers, staff, and families. Since starting Kloefkorn last year, I have seen this community of learners come together and accomplish great things for our children and teachers. I would like to join this team of people, and build our community even more by creating more programs that encourage the love of learning and the growth of important relationships in our lives. I’m excited to volunteer in a different capacity and make a greater impact out our school. I enjoy spending time with my family, anything outdoors, reading, and helping children have Ah-Hah moments in life.
Angela Korpas
Vice President
My name is Angela Korpas, and my husband Denes and I have a 3rd grader at Kloefkorn, Lily. We also have twin 4-year-old boys, Dom and Leo. I am a lawyer by trade but am currently staying at home, running our household. I have been a consistent volunteer in Kloefkorn classrooms these last years, and this year I was co-chair of the School Celebrations PTO Committee. I have served on numerous boards, including in the role as Secretary, and I look forward to offering my perspective and time to the Kloefkorn PTO board. In my free time, I enjoy listening to podcasts, reading, and travel.
Erin Schroeder
Secretary
KayCee Wanser
Treasurer
I’m KayCee Wanser and my husband Steve and I have three children. Our youngest is currently in 2nd grade and loving all things Kloefkorn. I have been involved with the PTO and have volunteered numerous hours in the classroom. In my professional life I have spent time working for others in HR Recruiting and for the past 8 years have been a business owner. Working for both myself and others has provided me the opportunity to learn and grow professionally. You can also fine me volunteering for our HOA as the treasurer, volunteering as both a Girl Scout Troop Leader and a 4H Club Leader. I look forward to working with the board and all families to help grow our sense of community among our students, teachers, staff, and families. I have enjoyed serving as the Movie Night Committee Chair and watching our Kloefkorn community come together!
