JB+A Own Katie Lord is One of KC’s “Most Wanted”

Nov 17, 2017

Each year, a group of charitable, passionate, hard-working professionals are chosen to be honored by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Kansas City as “KC’s Most Wanted.” These honorees are movers and shakers who are making a big difference in their professions and in their community – -and JB+A’s very own Vice President Katie Lord is on the list for 2017!

“I’m delighted for Katie and this honor, but I’m especially proud of her commitment – personally and professionally — to strengthening our community,” says JB+A President + CEO Jeffrey Byrne.  Katie will be recognized with her fellow honorees at the annual Most Wanted Auction on December 2, at Arvest Bank Theater at the Midland. Each honoree will create a unique, one-of-a-kind live auction package, gather silent auction items and raise funds to support Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Kansas City and its mission of creating and supporting life-changing friendships for children.  “Having just had my first child, I understand aspiring to be a role model and friend not only in her life but in the lives of other children. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Kansas City allows adults and children to create these special, life-changing relationships,” says Katie. “I’m incredibly honored to be named one of KC’s Most Wanted Honorees.”

From all of us at JB+A, congratulations Katie!
