About Kendall
Kendall joined Bottomless Closet as its Executive Director in 2007 having relocated from Vermont and an expansive career in the non profit world. She has been the driving force in leading the organization into its second decade. Prior to Bottomless Closet Kendall had over 20 yrs experience in the nonprofit sector, most notably as the Executive Director of Vermont’s largest AIDS Service Organization and work with a Women’s Rape Crisis Center. Her experience spans direct client services, program development, fundraising and special events in addition to leadership and management. Throughout her career Kendall has supported people who were dying in hospice, worked with homeless individuals and families, developed residential housing for people living with HIV, advocated for public policy legislation to support equality for transgendered individuals and acted as a first responder to women and men immediately following sexual assaults. The experiences she has are quite diverse; however, the shared value is working to create meaningful social and individual change.
As an independent, professional woman she appreciates the value of self-sufficiency and believes that you can never underestimate how putting on a nice pair of shoes can help transform the way you see yourself, build confidence and ultimately get you the job. Furthermore, Kendall appreciates the reach of Bottomless Closet’s mission beyond simply outfitting women but providing programming that will improve women’s professional skills, personal confidence and self-determination.
