PROGRAM
Today we heard from two of our own rotarians, about their backgrounds and lives.
Karen - Grew up in a family with a focus on small business, as they were entrepreneurs. She traveled a lot when she was young, but always for business. She was an exchange student in Berlin for a summer and had other opportunities in Berlin that followed. Her early work was in HR, followed by her work as an attorney. She has been through a lot of end of life decisions in her role as power as attorney, which she now specializes in professionally. She is taking over the business, Kiessling and Lesperance, which will become Kiessling and Reimer.
