Kara Allen (she/ella) trusts that communities have the answers and is an unapologetic believer in young people and the adults that uplift them. She is lucky to be called “mom” by some beautiful humans; her oldest is at UC Davis Medical School and her youngest is loving elementary school. She also really likes donuts, biking and getting people what they tell us they need to be great. Kara most recently served community as Chief Impact Officer where she supported the teams driving impact through our People and Culture, DEI and ESG commitments. She also served as Executive Director of Spurs Give, SS&E’s official nonprofit organization. Kara serves on multiple advisory boards and lives in Nashville with her daughter as well as her partner (who is the head coach of Tennessee State’s Women’s Basketball Team) and her partner’s twins.
