Gretchen Vorbeck, President/Founder
As a young girl, Gretchen understood the positive impact Vorbeck Wholesale Sporting Goods, her family’s third-generation business in Grand Junction, Colorado had on the community.
She was inspired to open her first business Inland Oceans, a fresh seafood market in Grand Junction after eating an array of fresh seafood in San Francisco.
Later, Gretchen and a partner designed and built Logwood Bed and Breakfast in Durango, Colorado.
Throughout the years, Gretchen’s most rewarding work has been sharing her Roundtable Leadership Team Building Model with clients through her consulting business.
Gretchen started We Value Our Teachers Foundation, a qualifying 501(c)3 charitable organization, in 2016, after talking with a public school teacher in the grocery store who was crying because she didn’t have enough money to buy milk and toilet paper.
Gretchen says, the fact her second and fourth grade teachers “saved her” is the impetus for We Value Our Teachers Foundation. She understands first-hand the value a compassionate and talented teacher brings to a child’s future.
