October 17 - Kim Lorenz
Kim Lorenz.pngKim Lorenz is an author, entrepreneur, and visionary who founded two companies starting at age 26 with no backing or funding. Not only did he build and run them successfully, but he sold them both to Fortune 500 companies before he was 47. Through his years as a business owner, partner, and CEO, Kim has developed a key understanding of what it takes to succeed in business. Kim's mission is to teach vital tools essential for business success beyond what is taught in business schools. He earned his MBA from the University of Washington, Foster School of Business. ​ Kim is the former Commodore of the Seattle Yacht Club, and a 39-year Rotarian. While serving as Rotary Liaison with World Vision, the collaborative teams he initiated have completed over $20 million in clean water projects with over 1 million beneficiaries in developing countries worldwide. He is a business consultant, proven leader, public speaker and motivator, a pilot for 40 years, and holds a USCG Captains license. Kim lives with his wife in Bellevue, WA.

He will speak to us about "Opportunity Drives Success" (likely taking from his top-rated book, Tireless).  Learn to visualize Opportunity, act on it, change the way you think while improving your Rotary Life.
