We’re excited to announce that Kaylee Kleitsch has been promoted to Programs and Engagement Manager at CAST, effective June 2025.
Kaylee joined CAST in early 2024 as a part-time Communications Assistant while completing her master’s degree in Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University. Over the past year and a half, she has played a vital role in communications and student programming, and now she steps into a leadership position focused on engagement and outreach.
In her new role, Kaylee will lead student initiatives, coordinate CAST’s volunteer network, and manage membership services and retention strategies. She’ll also support event logistics and strategic planning in close collaboration with CAST’s communications team.
“I’m really excited about stepping into this new role with CAST,” Kaylee says. “The past year and a half as a part-time student employee has been great, and I can’t wait to continue working with all of the amazing people who make this organization what it is.”
Please join us in congratulating Kaylee Kleitsch on this well-earned promotion!
