In an effort to contain the spread of COVID19, we will not host the SSAAM Camp Meeting tentatively scheduled for October 2020.
We look forward with great anticipation to having you join us next year for our 2021 Camp Meeting. Stay safe and well.
Stay tuned for a Virtual Tour of the SSAAM Museum.
Executive Director Caroline Katmann
SSAAM would like to welcome Caroline Katmann as our first executive director! Caroline has been with our organization since its inception in 2014. During that time, she has served as the chair of community outreach and grant writing; Caroline is directly responsible for much of the important and vital funding we have received. Her new, additional duties include program creation, consultant management, and working with a wide range of stakeholders.
Please join us in congratulating Caroline as our first executive director!
Our signature event of the year was another success!
