Board: Nourish Farms (past president)
Paul Bartelt, who will soon retire as chief executive officer of Sheboygan-based Vollrath Foodservice after 15 years, served as board president of Nourish Farms in Sheboygan for six years.
He continues to serve on the board of the organization, which was established in 2009 to offer farm-to-school and farm-to-community programs.
“Paul transformed the organization from addressing food insecurity to one that empowers the community to make wholesome food choices through education and hands-on experiences that demonstrate how to grow, source, cook and enjoy good food,” said John Donovan, president of CloverNord Management Consulting.
Bartelt also served on the board of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Sheboygan County from 2010-20 and in 2021 was Sheboygan’s first inductee to the Wisconsin Hall of Fame for Boys & Girls Clubs.
“For his work with the Boys & Girls Clubs and Nourish Farms, he smartly got the boards focused on the balance of operating as a business when both faced financial challenges,” said Stephanie Schafer-Dlugopolski, director-global corporate communications at Johnsonville LLC.
