Camp Fire First Texas has promoted two members of its leadership team into newly established vice president roles. Tamara Clement has been promoted to Vice President of Development, and Sara Mitchell has been promoted to Vice President of Marketing and Communications.

Clement, who previously served as Director of Development, joined Camp Fire in January 2021. During her tenure, she has led major fundraising initiatives, strengthened donor relationships, and advanced corporate and foundation partnerships. As Vice President of Development, she will oversee philanthropic strategy and revenue diversification to ensure the organization’s long-term sustainability.

Mitchell, who joined Camp Fire in February 2007, most recently served as Director of Marketing and Communications. Over the past 18 years, she has directed brand strategy, public relations, digital engagement, and customer experience for the organization. In her new role as Vice President of Marketing and Communications, Mitchell will continue to elevate Camp Fire’s story across North Texas, aligning with the organization’s strategic focus on marketing and storytelling as drivers of transformation.

“Tamara and Sara have each demonstrated extraordinary leadership and vision in their respective areas,” said Brian Miller, President/CEO of Camp Fire First Texas. “Their promotions recognize the vital role development and marketing play in advancing our mission. With their expertise and passion, we are well-positioned to deepen our impact and ensure more youth, families, and educators benefit from Camp Fire programs.”

Clement said she is energized by the opportunity to expand the reach of Camp Fire’s mission through sustainable growth. “This role is about ensuring Camp Fire is positioned for long-term impact,” Clement said. “By building lasting relationships and diversifying our revenue, we are making it possible for more youth to discover their sparks and thrive, and for more educators to receive the support they need to succeed.”

Mitchell said she looks forward to advancing the organization’s visibility and community presence. “I believe in the power of storytelling to inspire action,” Mitchell said. “As we implement our strategic plan, our goal is to make sure every family, partner, and supporter understands the life-changing experiences Camp Fire provides. Marketing is not just about awareness—it’s about driving transformation and ensuring that the next generation has access to opportunities in nature, in learning, and in community.”
