    Arizona Community FoundationSedona AZ (May 9, 2020) – Four new members have been elected to serve on the Arizona Community Foundation of Sedona’s Board of Advisors: Kevin Adams, Carol Kurimsky, Elizabeth McFarland, and Nancy Williams. Current board member John Kincaid was elected as Chair.

    Kevin Adams is a retired Fortune 500 executive, spending over a dozen years as Vice President of Program Management at CDW Corporation. He is also a 20-year Marine Corps veteran. Kevin sits on the boards of the Verde Valley Cyclists Coalition and Sedona Red Rock Trail Fund.  “Three words sum up why I wanted to join the ACF board: ‘to give back,’” said Kevin. “After moving to Sedona full time in 2016, I have learned that ACF is an integral part of our community.”

    Carol Kurimsky has over 30 years of experience as a marketing executive, working most recently for Western Digital. Carol also worked for large companies like Proctor & Gamble and Pizza Hut. Since moving to Sedona, Carol has volunteered with the Sedona Community Food Bank and the Salvation Army Sedona. “In my professional career, I experienced the tremendous value that a well-run community foundation can bring to both donors and the nonprofit community,” said Carol. “I look forward to building upon that experience and helping donors and nonprofits continue to improve the quality of life for Sedona and Verde Valley residents.”

She has worked closely with ACF in the past; having served on ACF of Sedona’s Board of Advisors from 2013 to 2015, volunteering for Northern Arizona Healthcare, and chairing the committee that reviews grants for Northern Arizona Healthcare Foundation in partnership with ACF.

    Nancy Williams has dedicated her career to education, most recently serving as Executive Director of the Kearney Public Schools Foundation. She also worked for EDTECH, Inc. selling financial aid software to colleges nationwide. She developed an online scholarship database that culminated in EDTECH  being acquired by Sallie Mae, the national student loan company.

    The Symbolism of Jan. 6

    By Tommy Acosta
    Don’t mess with symbols. Just ask author Dan Brown’s character Robert Landon. The worth of symbols cannot be measured. Symbols make the world-go-round. Symbols carry the weight of a thousand words and meanings. Symbols represent reality boiled down to the bone. Symbols evoke profound emotions and memories—at a very primal level of our being—often without our making rational or conscious connections. They fuel our imagination. Symbols enable us to access aspects of our existence that cannot be accessed in any other way. Symbols are used in all facets of human endeavor. One can only feel sorry for those who cannot comprehend the government’s response to the breech of the capital on January 6, with many, even pundits, claiming it was only a peaceful occupation. Regardless if one sees January 6 as a full-scale riot/insurrection or simply patriotic Americans demonstrating as is their right, the fact is the individuals involved went against a symbol, and this could not be allowed or go unpunished.
