In my latest episode, (part II of a 2-part series), I sat down (virtually!) with Dan Stein, former CEO of Second Harvest of Southern Wisconsin. Dan spent 11 years in this leadership role and continues to support the organization today as a volunteer. He shares his experiences in the fight to eliminate hunger as well as safe and simple ways to help during this critical time.
I have known Dan since 1993 when I first worked for him at Mid-Plains Communications Systems, my first job out of college! Very grateful for his mentorship and friendship over the years.
