Welcome back to our focus and celebration of public service! As you know, I have tremendous fondness and appreciation for my time in public service and the invaluable lessons I learned about leadership, people, community, and meaningful giving back!

Our theme for June-July: "A Call to Public Service: A Leadership Journey"

Today, our last guest of the month is Dr. Lyna M. Matesi, Associate Professor - Leadership Studies and also directs the MBA program at the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point.
