Your Regional Support Administrators
You may have noticed that the Office Administrators for the Chicago Branch (Sarah Clark) and the old St. Louis Branch (Don Rush) have recently transitioned into their new roles as your Regional Support Administrators (RSA). Some of you know us very well, some of you don't, so let us meet.
Don Rush - St. Louis, MO
Originally from Nebraska, Don has been with Kumon for nearly 15 years where he has served as both a Field Consultant and the Office Administrator.

Prior to Kumon, Don worked as a professional actor, where he met his wife, Katie. Two children later, and Don sleeps soundly. In his spare time, Don loves playing guitar and watching movies...anything where the kids are quiet.
Sarah Clark - Chicago, IL
Sarah Clark has been the Chicago Branch Office Administrator for the past 4 years.

Originally from South London, Sarah practiced law before she and her husband replanted their roots in the U.S. For the past 22 years, Sarah and her family have lived in the Chicago area. Sarah spends her time exercising, playing bridge, and spending time with her friends.
49% Ownership Workshop
March 4th - Mark your calendars!
Have you ever had interest in owning a second center or wish you could somehow expand your business through additional locations? Opportunities to operate two centers are very limited, but there is another way to be involved in more than one center within the Kumon franchise system.

Join the Midwest Franchise Recruiter Laura Arigo on March 4th from 9:30-10:30 AM CST to learn more about multi-center ownerships following the 51%/49% rule.
Be sure to bid farewell to Laura's son as you take down your old window clings!
