On June 20, we celebrate Mackenzie Kelley’s eight-year anniversary with MHQ!
Mackenzie serves as one of MHQ’s Executive Directors, working closely with our client associations to grow and strengthen their organizations.
Her time with MHQ has been characterized by excellence in leadership, preparation, and collaboration.
“As Executive Director of NARST: A Global Organization for Improving Science Education through Research, Mackenzie has been a wonderful partner to the presidential team, offering steady guidance, continuity, and invaluable institutional memory,” said NARST President Maria Varelas. “Her foresight, thoughtfulness, and collaborative spirit have been instrumental in advancing NARST’s mission, goals, and overall impact.”
“Mackenzie is an incredible colleague and leader,” said Dara Rudick, MHQ CEO. “She is a deeply respected team member with deep expertise and a very collaborative approach.”
“Mackenzie’s cool-headed approach, remarkable attention to detail, and thoroughness help keep even the most complex challenges on track and in perspective,” said MHQ Membership Manager and Executive Director Mike Swan. “She is an exceptional collaborator and leader who I am grateful to work with every day.”
“Mackenzie’s leadership as Executive Director has made a meaningful impact across the organization,” said MHQ Marketing and Communications Coordinator Vince Lungaro. “Her collaborative approach stands out—not only in shaping our marketing efforts, but in consistently taking the time to explore the ‘how’ and ‘why’ behind the work. This openness, insight, and partnership has elevated both the outcomes and the process. MHQ is stronger because of all that Mackenzie brings to the team.”
Thank you for everything you do, Mackenzie! MHQ is incredibly fortunate to have you on the team, and your leadership continues to make a meaningful difference.
