Q. The HarborMarket® is a non 501(c)3 tax-exempt
organization, can you explain what that is?

A. A 503(c)(3) nonprofit organization is one that has been
approved by the IRS as being a charitable organization that is
exempt from income tax. Basically, we exist to contribute to
the betterment of the community and don't have owners.
Our goal as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization boils down to
providing services that improve the community and the lives
of the people within it. We seek to support small business
owners as they establish and grow their businesses, provide
an event-experience that enriches the lives of community
members and help support fellow nonprofits as they also
work to improve the community.

Q. This is your second year as Executive Director of
the HarborMarket® – how has the experience been so
far?

Well, the first year was more challenging than the second
year has been so far. That first year, there was a pretty big
learning curve. This year I feel more settled into the role. But
I'm not one to rest on my laurels, so we continue to expand
both the size of the Kenosha HarborMarket®, the quality of
the experience, and increase the reach of our organization as
a whole by starting the Racine HarborMarket®. Both events
serve their respective communities, promote local small
businesses, facilitate direct interaction between customers
and producers and provide an overall fabulous experience.
Witnessing that is fulfilling beyond words.

Q. The HarborMarket® continues to be a huge
success and you should be very proud with all the hard
work, effort, time, and love you've put into it. How do
you balance it all?

A. Thank you! It's definitely a team effort to put together
an event that draws up to 10,000 customers and 135 vendor
booths every week. Our Board leadership donate their time
and talents to the mission of our organization and the success
of the businesses we serve. HarborMarket's® staff works
tirelessly on Saturdays (and Thursdays in Racine) to facilitate
each event.

As a working parent of small children, it's a daily juggling
act. For sure, some days are easier than others, but my
husband and my Mom are both extremely supportive. My
Mom continues to watch my kids, and assisted with virtual
learning this past school year. Her energy is seemingly
endless, and inspirational. This past June my husband and I
celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary; his patience
regarding and understanding of the demands of my work
continues to astound me. And my kids are always able to
remind me of what is really important every day.
