Get to Know the SJB Team

Karen Connal,

Development Coordinator

I’ve spent many years working in the nonprofit sector, and throughout my career, I’ve been drawn to causes that strengthen communities and create opportunities for people to thrive. When I learned about the Seniors Job Bank after applying to be a job seeker, I was immediately drawn to its mission. It aligns perfectly with my belief that older adults have so much to offer and not just in terms of experience, but also in their desire to stay active and engaged. I saw this as a meaningful opportunity to support the Seniors Job Bank and my community.


My favorite thing about the Seniors Job Bank is the dedication of the staff. Everyone here is truly committed to helping others and supporting the community, and that energy is inspiring. I’m excited to be part of a team that cares so deeply, and I’m looking forward to helping the organization grow so we can connect even more mature workers with meaningful opportunities.
