Most Influential Woman in the Valley:\u00a0<\/strong>Kari Yatkowski, CEO, Corporate Citizen; Founder\/President, Haven Charitable\u00a0<\/strong>Foundation<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tell me about your day-to- day.<\/strong> Every day is spent connecting people in the community with\u00a0organizations with missions that resonate with them.\u00a0I am able to move the line for the clients I\u00a0serve and make the community we live, work and play a better place.\u00a0Does it get any better than\u00a0that?<\/p>\n

Most rewarding part of your job?<\/strong> Seeing nonprofits grow the capacity of their organizations\u00a0so they can expand their services and ensure they have sustainable revenue.<\/p>\n

What influence do you hope to have on the Valley?<\/strong> I passionately hope that everyone can find\u00a0a cause that is meaningful to them and they give whatever they can\u2014time or treasure.<\/p>\n

Fast Faves<\/strong><\/p>\n

Date night:<\/strong> iPic or a casual dinner and drinks.<\/p>\n

Annual local event:<\/strong> ASU football.<\/p>\n

Spot to spend a Sunday morning:<\/strong> Coffee at home with my husband and our kiddos and, of\u00a0course, my two boxers.<\/p>\n
