The Eanes Education Foundation named Dana Meserole Delorenzo as the nonprofit’s new executive director at a May 26 board meeting, during which Kathi Haralson, the outgoing director, presented a $2.65 million donation to the district.

Delorenzo has 26 years of professional and volunteer experience, according to Haralson. She is also a parent to a sixth-grade student at EISD’s West Ridge Middle School.

EEF seeks financial support and corporate donors to provide opportunities for educational excellence within the district, according to the EEF website. Each year, the majority of donations fund teacher and staff positions, with over 421 positions funded since 2004.
