October Monthly Meeting: “The Power of Alignment in Charitable Giving” … Guests Welcome!

Al Mueller, Excellence in Giving

Many families and companies want to make a difference in the world but have trouble knowing where to start or feel indifferent about their giving.  Please join Al as he shares lessons from twenty years of experience advising high-net worth families, companies, and non-profit corporations on how to align their charitable work with their money.  He’ll discuss how two ultra-high net worth parents raised kids that understood the true meaning of wealth and service to others and how a corporation changed their giving program to increase employee satisfaction and morale.  Al will also share how a non-profit board changed from scarcity thinking to abundance mentality and received a seven figure gift.

Al Mueller, President of Excellence in Giving, has 20 years of experience serving some of the most generous families in America.  Excellence in Giving helps families align their values, passions, and priorities with their wealth.  Those families gave almost $90 million to 981 high impact nonprofits in 2020.  Since inception in 2002, Excellence in Giving clients have given almost $500 million to local, national and international organizations.

July Monthly Meeting: Life Lessons from a Colorado High School … Guests Welcome!

Platte Canyon High School in rural Bailey, Colo., doesn’t have a wood shop program. The town is landlocked and doesn’t have a lake. But the school has a yacht club. Kip Otteson will join us to share the story of how he and four other teachers helped students create the Platte Canyon Yacht Club. In 2018 teachers at Platte Canyon were wondering what kind of project could teach students about STEM, teamwork, and perseverance. Then they heard about a 70-mile open water ocean race that takes place over 48 hours off the coast of Washington State. They challenged students to design and build a boat from scratch that could compete in the race. The students embraced the challenge and built a huge boat that could hold 18 people. They trained and competed in the 2019 race and again in June 2021. Kip will share the lessons learned in challenging students to embrace a big challenge and how they overcame them as a team.
