Professionally, Heley works as the community engagement manager for Harvesters—The Community Food Network. At Harvesters, he engages people with Harvesters’ mission by giving their time, food, money, and voice to help feed the 360,000+ people in our region who don’t know when or where their next meal will be.

Community service runs deep in Logan’s family. His grandmother, Marilyn, was a long-time volunteer for the Johnson County Library. Logan’s family first came to Johnson County in 1953 when his Grandpa Jim was stationed at the Olathe Naval Air Station.

 

A graduate of Shawnee Mission schools, Heley graduated Cum Laude from the University of Southern California with dual degrees in Broadcast Journalism and History. He is currently pursuing a Master of Public Administration degree from the University of Kansas.
