Our Team
Association Director – NOW HIRING!
Community Engagement Coordinator – Kelly Blackhurst
Kelly joined Seneca Lake Pure Waters in July 2024. She studied management and business at Skidmore College and later earned her MBA with a concentration in sports management from Misericordia University. Kelly is no stranger to the outdoors; she grew up in the Adirondacks, with 13th Lake in North River, NY, as her playground.
In her spare time, Kelly can be found hiking mountains, training for triathlons, running races, chasing after her son, and coaching part-time with the William Smith College Field Hockey team. She previously served as the Awards & Digital Communications Manager for the National Field Hockey Coaches Association and has head coaching experience at the NCAA Division III level.
