During the February 8, 2019 meeting, PDG/PP Dave Ewing and Rotarian Bill Liber presented a Paul Harris Fellow to Bill Liber Jr. Below is the presentation PDG/PP Dave relayed to the members regarding Bill Jr.:
 
Bill Liber Jr. is a Regional Director and Fatherhood Practitioner who drives positive change for families by stabilizing, supporting and empowering fathers to be successful through training to obtain employment and a healthy family life. After spending nearly five years working with Passages, Connecting Fathers & Families and advocating for some of Northeast Ohio’s most vulnerable families, Bill knows what truly inspires change and moves people forward—and it’s not a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s how well you connect with the hearts of those you’re trying to help and the action taken thereafter.
 
Mr. Liber helped found the Portage County Fatherhood Initiative in 2017, has helped organize over 15 community events, and is currently overseeing responsible fatherhood programming in multiple counties as part of a research study through the Ohio University and the Ohio Commission on Fatherhood. In addition to his extensive non-profit experience, he is a marketing/fundraising specialist, musician, aspiring-woodworker and former collegiate quarterback.
 
Bill holds a BA in organizational communications from Kent State University. He currently resides in North Canton, Ohio with his wife, Stephenie and two daughters, Maryn (age 4) and Harper (22 months).
