She has been an administrator for Hope House Home for the Elderly, an associate director of Empowering Pacific Island Communities, executive director of Pacific Youth and Community Development and has worked for the Department of Human and Social Services for the American Samoa Government.

We are confident that Kathryn’s leadership and experience will greatly benefit Homage and the community we serve.”
As Homage’s Director of Social Services, McCutchan will work to ensure Homage’s programs are efficiently and effectively meeting the needs of its target population in a culturally responsive manner, provide professional support, promote growth opportunities for Homage’s frontline and management staff, explore funding resources to expand programs and services, and strengthen organizational partnerships with key stakeholders in the public and private sector.
“I am honored to join Homage, an amazing organization with committed people dedicated to helping the most vulnerable segment of our community: older adults and people living with disabilities,” said Kathryn McCutchan. “I look forward to working with the staff and managers to provide optimal services for clients reaching out to Homage for help. I hope to help Homage further expand its portfolio for program sustainability as well as develop and offer new programs.”
