MW USA announces New Communications Manager
Mennonite Women USA has a new communications manager. In May, Katie McKinnell joined the MW USA staff, replacing Dawn Araujo-Hawkins, who resigned in March. McKinnell is a 2017 graduate of Goshen College, where she studied art and graphic design and attends Assembly Mennonite Church in Goshen, Indiana.
