- [Farewell Loriee, Welcome Allie](https://theparkpeople.org/blog/farewell-loriee-welcome-allie/): Loriee Evans, Community Engagement Manager, joined The Park People as Community Engagement Coordinator in August of 2022\. “I was looking for an opportunity to work on my biggest passions: volunteerism, climate action, and community equity,” said Loriee\. For the past several years, Loriee has been The Park People’s community liaison, working with volunteers, Community Foresters, and Community Connectors \& Climate Ambassadors\. She brought bright ideas and baked goods, all while ensuring that The Park People’s volunteer and resident network remained informed and engaged\. After more than three years, we must bid an unfortunate and heartfelt goodbye to the heart of our community outreach operations as she returns to her family in Arkansas\.
