SUPER ZERO HERO

Kirsten VanDeventer – Emergency Operations Center (EOC)

Kirsten VanDeventer commands the EOC, which coordinates all COVID-19 response efforts within the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC). Kirsten began organizing the first COVID-19 team in January 2020 and deployed the EOC in early March. She made recommendations to Council early on to keep our Community safe from COVID-19 including allowing the departments providing essential services to remain open. Thanks to her leadership, the Community is well prepared to face this major health crisis.
