Doing Good Better: Leadership Austin Fellows – Paula Klante + Meals on Wheels Central Texas

People do good for others every day in the community surrounding Austin. At RecognizeGood, our mission is to help strengthen that community by sharing those inspiring examples. In our Doing Good Better series, we take a docu-series look into innovative collaborations around the Austin area that make our community stronger. Leadership Austin launched a pilot Fellows Program to connect experienced retirees with sustainability-building projects that nonprofits often don’t have the resources to execute. Projects that require a different caliber of candidate.

Longtime technology consultant Paula Klante was paired with Meals on Wheels Central Texas to guide a massive migration of data and technology from a legacy system to a cloud-based Salesforce platform to ensure sustainability into the future. We spoke with Paula and Meals on Wheels COO Michael Wilson about their Fellowship experience.
