In this conversation, Bill introduces Terri Thao. Having grown up as the eldest daughter of six siblings, Terri learned leadership early. Her mother was educated and ambitious and passed that “bad-ass” energy to her daughter. Terri’s career has touched many lives. She led at Nexus Community Partners, is currently on the MN Housing board, has served on the St. Paul Planning Commission, and leads now as the Program Director, Local Initiatives and Opportunities at the Margaret A Cargill Foundation.
