Currently serving as United Way of Dane County’s Director of Stakeholder Engagement and Chair of the City of Madison’s inaugural Police Civilian Oversight Board, Keetra Burnette has an extensive background in community leadership, community engagement, operations and project management. Throughout her professional career, Keetra has demonstrated her unwavering loyalty to and support of one of our community’s most vulnerable populations – adults with poverty-related, lived experiences – or “Lived-Experience Experts” (LEE).
In both professional and volunteer roles, Keetra works tirelessly to ensure that corporate and community leaders understand the critical need for the voices and perspectives of LEEs to be included and centered in spaces and places where decisions about community resources are made. To support this effort, Keetra serves as a coach, mentor, advocate and cheerleader for LEEs who desire to build (or strengthen) their leadership skills to prepare them to serve as active and more informed leaders in the Dane County community.
