Steve Carlson, CEO of INTL Provident Group*, became involved with Fiver out of his dedication and admiration for Tom Tucker but soon thereafter developed the same passion for Fiver’s mission and culture. Steve says, “You can see it in the faces, hear it in the voices, these children are transformed by the idea of a better future, as modeled in the positive mentors and role-models at Fiver.”

Steve Carlson has been involved with Fiver since its inception in 2000 and just recently joined the Board of Directors in the winter of 2010. He served as Benefit Co-Chair in 2008 and continued to serve on the Benefit Committee in 2009 and 2010.

Steve’s passion for Fiver is demonstrated best in his vision for Fiver’s future and we at Fiver are honored to recognize Steve’s tireless advocacy on behalf of the 550 children we serve. Please join us on May 5th as we celebrate the Steps that Steve has taken to support Fiver’s Journey to Success and honor him as the 2011 Richard Adams Leadership Recipient.
