Welcome to ‘Ready: Leaders to Know’ My name is Bill Graves and for almost 10 years now, I’ve led my family’s foundation, working with nonprofits, electeds and leaders making a difference in the Twin Cities. I’ve been moved by their stories - every one unique, but all sharing a common theme of stepping into the unknown. How do everyday people, our neighbors and friends, step up to help us navigate challenging times–how do they learn and hone leadership skills? With ‘Ready: Leaders to Know,’ I’ll bring those stories to you.
