This week's board spotlight will be highlighting our wonderful VP and co-director Karla!

She has done great work on-site and behind the scenes for Food Paradigm. Karla has exemplified empowering dedication to the organization. Karla highlights her time on site stating: "The on-site visits remind me exactly why this work matters. I always leave feeling re-energized and more committed than ever to making this a reality for kids. At RISE especially, the excitement from the student ambassadors is contagious. You can feel how much this pilot means to them. That energy drives me. My hope extends well beyond the classroom, though. The staff at RISE already do a beautiful job of making these kids feel seen, cared for, and valued, and I want this work to be just another layer of that. Another reminder to each child that they matter, that their health matters, and that the people around them are invested in their whole wellbeing." Thank you for all your work, Karla, this wouldn't be possible without you!
