Episode Description
Over the past 30 years, Dom Betro, president and CEO of Family Service Association (FSA), has led his agency to tremendous growth and diversification. Once very clinically-focused, FSA now builds communities with communities through a variety of services and initiatives, including Mobile Fresh, an innovative social enterprise that takes on the problem of food deserts and food insecurity in our communities. During this episode, Dom will discuss what it takes to build and sustain authentic community partnerships, and why he believes the social entrepreneurship business model can take nonprofits and communities to a new level of impact, which is evident in how FSA is touching and transforming communities today.
