As you may know, Ellen Reid who successfully led Keystone Science School for over 15 years has recently moved on to other endeavors.The Board of Directors initiated a national search with assistance from Philip DeBoer and Sara Garlick, of DHR Global, a national consulting firm, for her replacement and is pleased to announce the appointment of Kim Krebs (Easton), an experienced nonprofit executive will assume the position of Keystone Science School Chief Executive Officer effective June 1, 2023.
Ms. Kreb’s impressive career includes years of experience leading nonprofit organizations focused on early childhood education and outdoor recreation. In her most recent position, she was CEO of National Sports Center for the Disabled (NSCD), an organization that advances the power of people with all abilities through adaptive innovation, recreation, and outdoor experiences.

We are confident that with her experience and leadership capabilities KSS will continue to grow and achieve its mission to “inspire curiosity and critical thinking through the lens of science to change lives and strengthen communities.” In addition, we would like to thank David Miller, who has been instrumental to us as Interim Executive Director during this transition.” Mr. Miller will continue with KSS in a critical role.
