Welcome Our New Administrative Coordinator


Janell Peterson has a wide breadth of industry experience gained by working almost 20 years in event and volunteer management roles in the Kansas City area. She found her passion in nonprofits and has worked to further the goals of various arts, education, and healthcare organizations during her career. Janell specializes in event management and organizational logistics, with a special aptitude for process improvement and creative problem-solving.


She also enjoys utilizing her experience and talents to coordinate creative retreats through her business, WestWind Creative. Janell and her husband Brandon love to tackle home remodeling projects together and are currently rebuilding a vintage camping trailer to use on adventures with their two sons. She is looking forward to meeting the volunteers who have shaped and fulfilled the mission of the Johnson County Christmas Bureau and supporting their important work.

How We Make a Difference


"I had a great experience and it provided a lot of basic (coats, gloves, hats) Christmas gifts for me and my son that fit our likes/needs. My son loves books and puzzles and they provided these items. Everyone was very nice and helpful."
