Katie Dobbins is delighted to take on the role of Executive Director for the Ruby M. Sisson Memorial Library Foundation and Friends. She brings her considerable experience in non-profit management, finance, fundraising, marketing, and event management to this position.

Katie has demonstrated her passion for The Ruby Sisson Library through many years of service. She served on the Friends of the Library Board, now Committee since 2019 as Board Member, Secretary, and Board Chair. When the Friends and the Foundation merged in 2022, she started serving as Board Member and as Board President.

Katie moved to Pagosa Springs with her husband in 2017 from the Denver area.  After their first year, they knew that Pagosa was home. She says, “it’s a beautiful place to live, but really it’s the people who live here that make this town wonderful.” In addition to her time with the library she volunteers for several organizations throughout Pagosa Springs.

During her free time, you can find Katie hiking with her dogs, trying out new recipes, crafting, kayaking and sitting down with a really good book.
