Katherine Bussard is a Christian who loves the Lord and strives to honor Him in every aspect of her life. She graduated early from homeschool; received her Bachelor of Arts degree at age 19 through Thomas Edison State University; received the Arnold Fletcher Award for Academic Achievement; continued studying theology and graduating from Foundations South Bible Institute. Passionate about worldview discipleship, she served as an administrator and instructor in Christian home education programs for 14 years, writing a book on accelerated distance learning and college and career readiness. Because local government most directly impacts citizens and their daily quality of life, Katherine has served for four years as a councilwoman in the City of Potterville and was later elected as mayor by her peers. She now serves as the Executive Director & COO of Salt & Light Global, facilitates training in good governance for communities around the state, mentors other Christian women in local government, and continues to be involved in her own community as a member of the Potterville School Board, where she resides with her husband Jeff.
