Kathy Strong-Twohig The award was presented to Kathy Strong-Twohig at the Leadership FDL Graduation on May 20, 2009, by AC Board Chairman Lisa Washa. This award recognizes the efforts of a Leadership alumnus for his or her efforts to the Fond du Lac area through volunteer service and leadership. As the eighth Leadership Fond du Lac alumna awarded this honor for community volunteerism, Kathy Strong-Twohig has not only served on and led countless boards and committees, but also currently heads Habitat for Humanity of Fond du Lac County as its executive director. She graduated from the Leadership Fond du Lac Program in the Class of 2005. A native and lifelong resident of the Fond du Lac area, Kathy acquired a wide array of business experience since graduating from Sheboygan’s Lakeland College in the field of business administration. She also earned an Associate’s degree from Moraine Park Technical College and attended Fox Valley Technical College. From 1984-1994, Kathy worked at Ripon Medical Center. Acknowledging the rapid change in technology during that time period, she said, “I started there in data processing, which is a term no one uses anymore, and by the time I left, I was in MIS (management information systems).” In 1994 she worked in a family-owned business, Twohig Furniture & Flooring, as well as in the funeral home portion of the company until she started at Habitat in 2004. From ringing bells for Salvation Army to working with local Girl Scouts on badge education, Kathy devotes her extra time to helping others. She has also served her community by sitting on the City Parking and Traffic Advisory Commission, the Hamilton Area Neighborhood Development (HAND) and co-chairing a team for Loaves & Fishes.
