Visionary Gives Back Giving Our Time Where It Counts
Giving Our Time Where It Counts |
At Visionary, we believe the communities that support us deserve our support in return. That's why our team gets Volunteer Time Off (VTO) hours to give back to the causes they care about most. This time, we're shining a light on how our Vice President, Kelli, uses her time to help fight human trafficking, 200 miles at a time.

From Vice President to Ride Day Coordinator
Kelli serves as Visionary's Vice President, and she brings that same leadership to Break the Cycle as a board member and Day-of Event Coordinator. A 200-mile ride doesn't happen without serious planning behind the scenes, and Kelli helps manage the logistics that keep everything running smoothly.

Why We Give Time BackWe're a Des Moines company, and our clients, neighbors and friends are right here in Iowa. VTO hours let our team step away from the screen and show up for the people and causes that make our communities stronger. Kelli's work with Break the Cycle is a great example of what that time can do. Huge thanks to her and to every rider and volunteer who makes this ride possible. |
