Erin Hannum | Executive Assistant to Head of School Ann V. Klotz

In honor of this one-time-only award, Ms. Klotz’s son Atticus and husband Seth Orbach helped make this presentation to this most special recipient.

Atticus commented, “I’ve seen 21 first days of school … countless dinners, ceremonies, board meetings and assemblies. Through all of them, I have seen this person’s unfailing resilience and selflessness, as she accepts any and all challenges—of which there can be many—to ensure that the school and specifically, my mother, are successful. Anybody who is in the know knows it is Erin Hannum who really keeps this school running.”

Among the many duties Mrs Hannum takes on, Ms. Klotz stated that, “Erin always says yes—without hesitation and with incredible generosity of spirit.” Mr. Orbach reiterated that, “It is she who keeps Ann on track and organized. Erin arranges travel, coordinates details, tracks receipts, and does it all with grace and patience.”

Mrs. Hannum’s impact on Laurel has been truly immeasurable and she is most deserving of the One and Only Award!
