SUMMARY:4.11.24 - Interact Luncheon - Mark Peters - CEO\, Butterball Farms

This year they have chosen the CEO of Butterball Farms Mark Peters! \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nBIO \nMark Peters is the Chief Executive Officer of Butterball Farms\, Inc.\, which was nationally recognized as one of The Best and Brightest Companies to Work For from 2015 to 2022. The second-generation family business\, based in Grand Rapids\, Michigan\, is America’s leading producer of culinary butter and margarine and creates custom butter flavors for some of America’s biggest brands. \nPeters began as a factory worker in his father’s company at the age of 12: an experience that taught him first-hand about the challenges that frontline workers face. At 30\, he took over the company determined to lead a financially successful business that would also enrich the lives of its workers. \nIn 2003\, he organized a pioneering group of CEOs and community leaders to found The Source\, a not-for-profit organization that has helped hundreds of workers navigate personal challenges that were interfering with their jobs and delivered an average annual return on investment of 200 percent to its partner organizations. In 2020\, Peters published his first book The SOURCE: Using the Power of Collaboration to Stabilize Your Workforce and Impact Your Community highlighting his journey from concept to creation of The Source. \nThis West Michigan-based model has been replicated in nearly 10 states; and Peters is currently expanding its mission to help frontline workers not only maintain their jobs but progress into better positions within or across partner companies. \nRecognized by numerous companies from Ernst & Young to McDonalds\, and most recently Vistage\, for his leadership\, Peters is an engaging speaker and storyteller who has addressed TED-x and other audiences. He lives in Grand Rapids with his daughter and dog and is an avid diver\, boater\, biker\, and skier.

SUMMARY:4.18.24 - Vonnie Woodrick - Founder\, i understand
DESCRIPTION:Vonnie Woodrick – Founder\, i understand \nSpeaker Topic: Mental Illness and helping those who are enduring the same grief that she and her family have experienced\, her story is powerful as she will share how we all can overcome the attitudes and stigmas surrounding the topic. \nBIO: \nAfter the loss of her husband\, Rob\, in 2003\, Vonnie Woodrick’s life was forever changed\, as she was forced to live a life without her loving partner and the father of their three children. Feeling as if no one understood suicide\, the effects mental illness can have\, and the judgment attached\, Vonnie set out to change attitudes and the conversation. These efforts led to the formation of i understand in 2014. One of Vonnie’s first initiatives was to create a petition to change the definition of suicide – updating the stigmatizing definition about intentionally taking one’s life to one about suicide’s role as a terminal side effect of mental illness. Under Vonnie’s leadership\, i understand continues to advocate for open conversations\, better resources for loss after suicide and a stigma free society. \n \n
