Our Speaker:

Matthew Klifman:

Financial Sales Manager at First Citizens Bank in Lacey. I am a proud, married father of two amazing children. I was raised in restaurants, from dishwasher to General Manager before transitioning into banking in 2004. My wife, daughter, son and I moved to Thurston County, from West Seattle, in August of 2008. I am a Leadership Thurston County graduate class of 2015, past Olympia Downtown Association Board Member, and past Hawks Prairie Rotarian. I was drawn to All Kids Win organization after witnessing, firsthand, students benefiting from this volunteer effort. Learning of the far-reaching impact and actual numbers of students being served through All Kids Win made me engage. I joined the AKW Board in 2019.
