We are back after summer break and episode 15 is live! 🎙️ This week on The Best Leadership Podcast Ever, Andra talks with Dominique Bollenbacher, Community Engagement Coordinator for the City of Kent and a member of the Leadership Portage County Class of 2018.

In this episode, Dominique shares how a lifelong commitment to volunteering and service shaped her career, from her eight years with Habitat for Humanity of Portage County to her current role with the City of Kent. She reflects on her Leadership Portage County experience, the mentors and relationships that shaped her, and the importance of humility, challenging ideas, building connections across differences, and helping others recognize their own ability to contribute to their communities.
