Gretchen Vorbeck, President/Founder
Gretchen was born in Grand Junction, Colorado. Vorbeck Wholesale Sporting Goods
was the name of her family’s third-generation- business. As a young girl, she understood
the positive impact their family business had on the community.
Gretchen opened her first business Inland Oceans, a fresh seafood market, in Grand Junction. She and a partner later designed and built Logwood Bed and Breakfast in Durango, Colorado. Gretchen also restored a 1924 Victorian home and four cottages to become a second bed and Breakfast in Manitou Springs, Colorado.
Throughout the years, Gretchen’s most rewarding work has been sharing her Roundtable Leadership Team Building Model with clients through her consulting business. Rather than a hierarchical structure, teams experienced the strength and synergistic creativity available when people with differing points of view work in unison to produce viable solutions while each member maintains his or her individuality and uniqueness.
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.
