April 20-26, 2025 is National Volunteer Week! Please join us as we thank the wonderful volunteers who help us fulfill our mission: To improve the quality of life of individuals and their families living with MS and related neurological diseases through care, support, education and research. #NVW
Kristin Battenfield is the owner of KBat Communications and currently serves on our Board of Directors. While she may be one of our newest Board Members, Kristin has a long-standing history of involvement in non-profit organizations throughout Colorado.
Kristin started her own business almost ten years ago after a career in advertising, which started at the Rocky Mountain News newspaper. Through her work, she has spent more than 25 years building a network across Denver and the country that not only benefits her clients but also connects people to the non-profits she supports.
Kristin’s background and connection to her community make her a natural leader for our Ambassador Committee, which she will begin chairing in July. The Ambassador Committee is a group of volunteers who work to connect with community members, donors, and supporters to spread awareness and further the mission and work of the MS Center.
Thank you, Kristin, for being such an amazing volunteer! We’re so appreciative of all that you do for the Rocky Mountain MS Center.
