Ep. 86: Rick Melmer

Rick Melmer has quite the resume. He was a teacher, the superintendent of schools in 3 different states, the Dean of Education for the University of South Dakota, and the Secretary of Education for the State of South Dakota. He is also the founder of Leadership South Dakota and, most importantly, is a follower of Jesus, husband, father, and grandfather.

 
On this episode of The RESGEN Giving Life Podcast, Rick talks with RESGEN Founder Tom Henderson about transitions – both in leadership and in the different seasons of life. Topics include:

  • Handing off an organization he founded to the next generation of leaders.
  • Caring for your family when moving to a new community with small children
  • Fulfilling your purpose even in retirement
  • Being open to learning more about God and self in different seasons
  • How the older generation can support and encourage the younger generation
  • How the younger generation can better appreciate and honor the older generation
