At dsm Magazine's Sages Over 70 event next week, we'll celebrate two WesleyLife-affiliated community leaders whose contributions to Greater Des Moines have made the city a better place to live and work.
Rich Willis, owner and chairman of Willis Automotive in Clive, is a member of the WesleyLife Board of Directors. A 2018 Iowa Business Hall of Fame inductee, Rich, along with his wife, Kim, is a champion of inspiring others in charitable giving while making a sizable impact on numerous social-service organizations. Rich is a member of WesleyLife Foundation Legacy Circle and a contributor to WesleyLife Meals on Wheels.
Connie Isaacson, retired fundraising professional with Isaacson-Syverson Consulting in Des Moines and former vice president for external affairs at Planned Parenthood of Greater Iowa, played a key role in 2023 and 2024 in helping WesleyLife raise a record $11 million to help fund its new Meals on Wheels building near Drake University.
We are grateful to both Rich and Connie and look forward to honoring them as well as the other deserving Sages!
WesleyLife Foundation and Edgewater, a WesleyLife community in West Des Moines, are serving as supporting sponsors of this year's Sages event, scheduled for Tuesday, November 12, at the FFA Enrichment Center on the Des Moines Area Community College campus in Ankeny.
