Social Impact Spotlight: Ryan Hazelton, Executive Director of Mariposa Kids Ryan and I go way back and worked together at a few terrible tech companies before we eventually made our way to nonprofit. Ryan is a deeply committed professional, who understands that quality education should be a right not a privilege. In his work at Mariposa Kids, he has already expanded the program and instituted excellent staff development. They were recently nominated for a San Francisco Chamber of Commerce Ebbie, and while they didn't win, it shows how far the organization has come under Ryan's leadership. Proud to call you my friend and I will continue to be inspired by your work!
