Ryan Tacke, MOL, CFCI Vice President, Sale and Product Management Delta Dental of Kansas", "Dean plays an integral leadership role by chairing the Nominating and Recruiting Committee for the Greater Kansas Chapter March of Dimes Board of Directors. He has led the chapter staff and volunteer leaders to not only significant financial growth but also broadened the scope of our name recognition and awareness in the community. Dean's ability to create and execute a plan will continue to benefit our organization and the volunteers involved.", and "I had the pleasure of working with Dean on the Inaugural Signature Chefs Auction, a formal fundraising gala for the March of Dimes. His leadership, focus and results driven mentality motivated the committee to continually work harder. As the event Chairman, Dean led the committee to go above and beyond not only the event budget, but the event goal, resulting in the highest grossing gala produced by the March of Dimes in the last 20 years. His strategic planning, communication, and attention to details ensured that every sponsor, donor and attendee had the best experience possible and felt apart of the big picture. Dean spear headed the revenue development team and successfully recruited and secured commitments for 20 companies who had never been involved with the March of Dimes before. He helped us grow our network by using his. His positive attitude and relentless work ethic made him the ideal chairman and I would highly recommend him for any leadership role."
