Rachel E. Kramer – Secretary
Rachel Kramer brings a lifelong passion for service and a strong aptitude for technology to her professional endeavors. Raised in a small town in Wisconsin, she developed a deep appreciation for community involvement early on—tutoring peers, volunteering in local schools, fundraising for non-profits, and assisting her family in cultivating a home garden.
Rachel set her sights on a career that would allow her to leverage her skills while continuing to support others. She began her career in administrative support roles within non-profit organizations, where she honed her organizational and communication skills, and later transitioned to the for-profit sector, accepting an executive support position in the newspaper industry. This role expanded her expertise to include operational workflows, budgeting, purchasing, and database development. Despite the shift in industry, she remained committed to community service, playing a key role in organizing annual fundraising events.
The economic downturn of 2007–2008 and shifts in the media landscape prompted Rachel to explore new opportunities, though she continued to serve in executive support roles. From 2008 to 2012, she led numerous employee-driven fundraising initiatives, raising over $50,000 for Dane County non-profits.
In 2012, Rachel joined Welton’s team, where she quickly distinguished herself through her dedication, reliability, and proactive approach to operational excellence. She continues to be a driving force behind both internal success and external charitable efforts, organizing and participating in fundraisers through both her professional and personal networks.
Today, Rachel focuses on being a trusted resource for staff and ensuring the organization is equipped with the tools and safeguards necessary to thrive in both digital and physical environments as she oversees all Information Technology, Commercial Insurance, Website Management, and Database Development/Management.
