“We are confident Kara is the right leader to ensure Our Military Kids’ future growth. She and her team are ensuring military children receive grants for extracurricular activities when their Guard or Reserve parent is deployed or their parent is recovering from severe injury, all of which is even more critical in the COVID-19 environment,” said Barry Miller, Chairman of Our Military Kids’ Board of Directors. “Kara is a strong believer in collaboration and has a proven track record of working together with donors, industry professionals, and other nonprofit organizations to make everyone stronger.”

Dallman holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the College of the Holy Cross, where she was commissioned through Navy ROTC; a Master of Business Administration from San Diego State University’s Fowler College of Business; and a Nonprofit Management Executive Certificate from Georgetown’s McCourt School of Public Policy.

Dallman and her husband, Captain Pete Dallman, USN (Ret), have two adult children who define themselves with pride as having grown up as military kids.
