Executive Director

McKenna Conlin grew up in Seattle, Washington, in a family deeply committed to community service - whether through charity work, the PTA, or local politics. (Her earliest political memory is holding her father’s city council campaign signs at the age of seven.) From friends to exchange students to strangers, she grew up in a home that was welcoming to all. This upbringing instilled in her a lifelong passion for community building and a conviction that we have a responsibility to love our neighbors in tangible, practical ways. 

She holds a BA in Political Science and Data Science from Lawrence University, driven by the belief that we can and should ascertain how best to make the world better. As Executive Director of the Third Space Catalogue, McKenna channels her skills and values into strengthening the fabric of local life.
