A Decade of Dedication: Honoring Brittany Wray

Today we’re celebrating a truly special milestone—Brittany Wray’s 10-year anniversary with KAEE.

Over the past decade, Brittany has grown from Operations Coordinator to Education Director to Deputy Director, helping lead KAEE through an incredible period of growth and impact.  When Brittany joined our team, we had just two full-time staff.  Today, we are a small but mighty organization with a strong presence across Kentucky and at the regional and national levels.  Brittany has been a driving force behind that growth—strengthening our programs, supporting educators, and helping ensure that everything we do is grounded in quality, relevance, and impact.

Brittany brings passion, thoughtfulness, and an unwavering commitment to environmental education into everything she does. She has earned the respect of everyone in the environmental education field as a humble leader who is quick to give credit to others and cares deeply for the well-being of those around her. We are truly honored to have her on our team.  

Executive Director Ashley Hoffman says, "Brittany is the kind of leader who makes everyone around her better.  She is detail-oriented, deeply collaborative, and always ready to jump in where she’s needed most.  We are endlessly grateful for Brittany’s vision, dedication, and heart over the past 10 years. KAEE is what it is today because of her."

Please join us in celebrating Brittany and this incredible milestone!
