Speakers

We will hear from Craig Kauffman, who will provide an engaging look at the world of conservation, hunting, and adventure. Craig is a past President of Safari Club International (SCI) and the Safari Club International Foundation (SCIF). He will explore the mission and impact of the organizations, including their vital roles in protecting wildlife and wild places around the world. Craig will share compelling reasons why hunting matters and why responsible hunting remains an important part of modern conservation. 

We will hear from Amy Zeigler, Senior Director at the M.S. Hershey Foundation, an organization created by Milton Hershey to provide educational and cultural resources in his town. She will provide a brief history of the Foundation as well as information on its four operating programs, The Hershey Story Museum, Hershey Gardens, Hershey Community Archives and Hershey Theatre. The Foundation serves the community of York through educational resources, including scholarship programs that cover the costs of field trips to the museum and gardens.

 

We will hear from Steven Martinez and learn how the York County SPCA fulfills both government level services and nonprofit services focused on saving lives and strengthening families. Steven will connect these services to issues that matter to business leaders: public health risk mitigation, workplace safety, cost efficiency, community resilience, and the fiscal advantages of a public private model. He will also share how his 12 years of entrepreneurial and investment experience in Chicago informed the operational transformation that positioned the YCSPCA as one of the leading animal resource centers in the country.
