Heroes: Executive of the Year

The goal of the capital campaign? $1.5 million. For most 35-employee organizations, that would be daunting. But not for Bean's Café. It has Lisa Sauder.

"Put simply, Lisa Sauder thinks big," said Lauren Nelson, marketing/outreach officer for Bean's Café. "Her imagination is endless and she refuses to let fear of failure hold her back from great success. In less than two years, Lisa has completely transformed our organization from disjointed to cohesive, cooperative community of individuals dedicated to both our mission and her leadership."
