Erin Clemons

Erin has a Bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies/Public Relations from Eastern Illinois University and is a certified children’s yoga instructor.  She is a passionate and accomplished fundraising professional with over 10 years of experience in the nonprofit and event planning sectors. Ever committed to making a positive impact on the lives of others, she is thrilled to expand the reach and mission of Kristi Yamaguchi’s Always Dream as the Hawai’i Development Officer.

Erin grew up a voracious reader with fond memories of her family partaking in the Pizza Hut BOOK IT! Program and weekly trips to the library as a child.  She experienced firsthand that reading helped foster confidence and a rich imagination within her, thus she feels every child and family is entitled to access to early literacy resources.

Favorite Children’s Book: The Boxcar Children by Gertrude Chandler Warner or Strega Nona by Tomie dePaola
