Farewell to Kayla Creamer

4/14/2021

0 Comments

After five and a half years of service to the BATV community, BATV’s Programming Coordinator Kayla Creamer is leaving us to join the team at Cablecast Community Media (aka Tightrope). While we are saddened to see Kayla go, we wish her the very best as she explores the next chapter in her career.

Kayla joined the BATV team in December of 2015 and since that time, she has worked diligently with hundreds of BATV members and producers while continually striving to streamline BATV’s cablecast and web based operations. Kayla has not only been an asset to the BATV team, but has become a friend to us all. We will miss her smile, knowledge and genuine nature.

Kayla’s last day at BATV will be Friday, April 23, 2021. Due to the current environment, there will not be a gathering, however please feel free to send Kayla farewell wishes by email at kayla@batvinc.org.
