2025/2026 Executive Board Of Directors

  • Kathy Kimberlin, President

    Kathy has supported and served on the FEF board for over 10 years, committed and passionate to strengthen the FEF Mission Statement through activities and outreach.

    Her interest in community volunteerism began when her boys went through FUSD. She found it important to teach her children, and lead by example, that it makes a difference to be involved in your community. Some other community ties over the last almost 30 years, may be found in her service as President of the Centerville Business & Community Association, President of Fremont Rotary Club, City of Fremont Government Affairs Committee, Fremont 4th of July Board, Citizens for Better Community board member, and co-founder of the Tri-City Nonprofit Coalition.

    By day, she enjoys her work as Field Director for Alameda County Supervisor D1-David Haubert.

    In between these community service opportunities, she thoroughly enjoys traveling and hiking with her husband.

  • Linda Dewlaney, Vice President

    Linda began volunteering in our community in 1998, starting with her days as “the Snack Bar Lady” for local Fremont youth baseball and basketball leagues. She went on to serve on various board positions with those non-profit organizations. She has served the PTAs at Brier Elementary, Walters Jr. High, and John F. Kennedy High School, from which her son graduated in 2009. Her PTA experience includes leadership positions at the unit, council, district, and state level. She is an advocate for the arts and physical fitness as integral parts of public education.

    Linda has also enjoyed being a host parent for international college students attending Ohlone College and San Jose State University. She is a proud member of the League of Women Voters of Fremont/Newark/Union City, and Soroptimist International of Fremont.

    Jennifer and husband, Bill Harrison, have two sons that have successfully finished their FUSD careers and are both thriving at UC Irvine.
