Darting to lead the K-State Alumni Association’s membership and marketing programs
In October, Krista Darting joined the K-State Alumni Association staff as associate

In this role, she will lead the Alumni Association’s membership program and marketing
efforts. This includes coordinating the Association’s affinity business partnerships,

Darting will serve as the ad sales representative for K-Stater magazine.
Darting graduated from Kansas State University in 2000 with a degree in journalism
and mass communications. While at K-State, she spent five years with the athletic
department, working in sports information as a student and graduate assistant. The
Silver Lake, Kansas, native also served as a feature writer for Powercat Illustrated and as a member of the morning show team on B104.7 (KXBZ-FM).
Prior to joining the Association, Darting was director of development for the Nashville
Songwriters Association International. She also worked as a senior account executive
at AdStaff Media on the Taco Bell and Gigi’s Cupcakes accounts and spent three years

“Krista’s experiences in nonprofit member-based organizations and marketing will be
instrumental in our efforts to reach and engage all members of the K-State family,”
said Amy Button Renz, president and CEO of the K-State Alumni Association. “She will
help us with efforts to build upon our already highly regarded brand.”
