As an entrepreneur and business leader, Kim has had tremendous success starting and developing companies that he grew and eventually sold to Fortune 500 firms.  On top of that, Kim comes to us with corporate credentials that include CEO leadership of a Paul Allen Telecommunications company. Today, he manages a large portfolio of owned properties and serves on several for profit and nonprofit boards. 

However, as a 34-year Rotarian, his tireless passion to change the world has led him to take the experience of community service to the next level.  Today, Kim is the Rotary Liaison to internationally acclaimed World Vision, one of the world’s largest and most successful humanitarian organizations.  World Vision works through water, sanitation, micro-finance and education to help alleviate poverty and injustice around the globe, and has an impressive record of $10 million of collaborated projects with Rotary groups.   With World Vision's 40,000 employees working in 100 countries, their experiences can educate us to the realities around the globe, as well as how we can change the face of communities worldwide.  

Mr.Lorenz visits us from Seattle.  He has been married for 28 years to his wife, Jill, and is proud parent of three and grandparent of seven.  When he isn't developing business models and matching funds for Rotary Clubs and Districts for projects in water, sanitation, hygiene, and micro-finance, he is piloting his aircraft, cycling or docking his boat at the yacht club.
