“The world is changing at an increasingly rapid pace, and both employers and employees must embrace technology to not only keep up but to prepare and solve for tomorrow’s business challenges,” said Doug Opheim, chief financial officer and chairman of the RSM US Foundation’s board of directors. “The mission of the RSM US Foundation is to build tomorrow’s middle market leaders by enhancing educational outcomes through programs that provide individuals with career paths to become entrepreneurs or middle market business leaders and/or that serve youth in the areas of hunger, housing or health. The mission of Boys & Girls Clubs of America aligns nicely with the foundation’s, and we are proud to be able to help them prepare today’s youth for tomorrow.”
