The Wilson Series in Business Ethics hosted "Mission-Driven Business" from 6:00 to 7:15 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 5, in Schindler Education Center 246 on the University of Northern Iowa campus.
UNI alumnus Jim Storbeck (Management), along with wife Alicia, are founders of two companies: Initial Outfitters, a home party direct sales company, and Heartstrings, a wholesaler of personalized products. Storbeck returned to his alma mater to discuss the important interactions between social involvement and entrepreneurship.
Storbeck focused on his companies’ partnership with Charlie’s Lunch, a charity that provides meals to impoverished children in third world countries. One hundred percent of profit from lunchboxes on Initial Outfitters, as well as extra donations of “Lunch Money,” goes toward Charlie’s Lunch to open and sustain lunchrooms around the world. The Storbecks highlighted the mutual benefits of charity and business partnerships.
