“I have had the privilege of working with Joe Leonhardt, serving on the board of Operation Rehydration (a 501 (c)(3) charity) for nearly five years and I can confidently say that he is one of the most inspiring and effective leaders I have ever encountered. Joe has a wealth of experience and expertise in leadership, fundraising, and long-term strategic planning. He is always looking for innovative ways to improve the quality and impact of what we can accomplish at Operation Rehydration. He puts this same focus into all he does. Joe is also a passionate and engaging speaker, author and instructor who shares his insights and wisdom on leadership, culture and rippling with audiences across the country through his podcast. He has a people-first philosophy that guides his actions and decisions, and he genuinely cares about the well-being and success of everyone he works with. Joe is not only a respected colleague, but also a trusted friend and mentor who has supported me throughout my career. He is a role model for me and many others who aspire to be effective and ethical leaders in higher education. I highly recommend Joe Leonhardt for any leadership position or opportunity that he pursues.”
