SHORT HILS, NEW JERSEY, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, December 16, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Investors Bank’s Business Exchange Series is presenting the significant story about the leaders who run the nonprofit America’s Grow-a-Row during the Mind Your Business radio show on Sunday, Dec. 19 at 10 p.m. This program is the second segment in Business Exchange Series on the Mind Your Business show, and more episodes are planned for 2022.— Investors Bank Chief Culture Officer Dennis Budinich
The Mind Your Business show with Host Yitzchok Saftlas is broadcast on 710 WOR-AM radio. Audiences may also listen live on internet radio at 710WOR.com, iHeartRadio or MYBRadio.com. After the broadcast, the show will be archived and available on popular podcasting channels, including Spotify, iTunes, and Google Podcasts, among many others. The YouTube video of the broadcast will be available on 710 WOR Mind Your Business Radio’s channel two to three weeks after broadcast.
Saftlas and Co-host Dennis Budinich, the bank’s Chief Culture Officer, are interviewing Chip Paillex, founder and president of America’s Grow-a-Row. The Pittstown, New Jersey-based nonprofit, started in 2002, has grown into an organization that annually plants and harvests 400 acres of farmland.
During the last two decades, the nonprofit and its team plus corporate allies including Investors Bank, stakeholders, local groups, and thousands of volunteers have provided 15 million pounds of fresh produce – some 60 million servings of vegetables and fruit – to people experiencing food insecurity in communities from Maine to Virginia.
During the Mind Your Business program, Paillex plans to discuss the insights and lessons the nonprofit’s leaders, teams and allies have learned while growing food and running the organization. Co-hosts Budinich and Saftlas will ask Paillex about these topics:
• Value of creating a flexible infrastructure and processes to consistently supply fresh produce and address food insecurity
• Importance of regularly communicating with and listening to stakeholders and allies that have invested their resources, time and energy in an organization
• Need to practice patience that balances the drive for rapid growth with the value of taking time to pause and plan for the next period of expansion.
The nonprofit has nurtured alliances with a wide range of corporations and foundations plus nonprofit groups that run foodbanks and feeding programs for people in need.
Investors’ Budinich said, “Teams of volunteers from Investors Bank have helped harvest the nonprofit’s fields, embracing the satisfaction of working with their colleagues in the field for a project with a meaningful purpose. People get to know one another better and build bonds. These bonds are carried back to the work environment, nurturing greater communication, cooperation and productivity.”
Investors Foundation, which support communities served by the bank, has provided America’s Grow-a-Row with over $55,000 in grants.
