Spy Hop, a leader in the field of youth media arts education, announced today that Executive Director Kasandra VerBrugghen will be stepping down from her position this spring. Since joining the organization in 2008, VerBrugghen has transformed Spy Hop from a small, youth media arts organization, into a thriving, nationally recognized nonprofit.
It is with both a heavy heart and a deep sense of fulfillment that I write to share that after nearly 17 years at Spy Hop, I will be stepping down from my position as Executive Director this spring. This decision comes after much reflection and with a commitment to ensuring that Spy Hop continues to thrive under new leadership for many years to come.
