Terri Moldenhauer
Mortgage Planner,
Blackhawk Bank
AMBASSADOR
PROFILE
Ambassador Positions Held:
Most recently, Terri was an
integral part of the Golf Outing committee. She is also very
active with ribbon cuttings and attending BA5 events.
Why is being a Goodwill Ambassador important to you?
I am very passionate about giving back to the communities we live and work in.
Being a Forward Janesville Goodwill Ambassador gives me an avenue to
accomplish that. I also love the relationships that are cultivated with the fellow
ambassadors, assigned business members and the new member businesses
through the ribbon cuttings and Business After Five events.
What have you learned from a fellow Ambassador or business
member that impacted you, personally or professionally?
One of my member businesses is the GIFTS Men’s Shelter. I met with the
wonderful director, Stephanie, and it truly opened my eyes and heart to the level
of homelessness in our community. GIFTS is special because attention is given
to the root cause of each guest’s homelessness. Before an individual can get to
work rebuilding his life, he must be given hope. Hope and healing are available
at GIFTS. It touched me so greatly that I requested that Blackhawk Bank donate
the proceeds of our April Jeans Day fundraiser to the shelter.
What was your most interesting Ambassador experience?
By the time this runs, it will have already taken place, but I have a feeling the most
interesting and fun Ambassador event will be the BA5 we are hosting at
Blackhawk Bank on August 18!
What is your favorite Forward Janesville event and why?
The Business After Five events. It gives me an opportunity to learn more about
a member business and to network with the many wonderful people in this
community!
What advice would you give to a new Ambassador?
Jump in with both feet and take advantage of every possible opportunity. Go out
and meet your member businesses. You have an invaluable opportunity to be
their liaison to Forward Janesville and to help them seize all the value of their
membership!
Why is red your new, favorite color?
The color red is the color of energy, passion and action!
Do you have a favorite quote or saying?
“Let’s work to become so good that we’ll succeed no matter how many bad calls
the ref may throw at us!” –John Miller

STRATEGY
Everything we do must be well reasoned, not
a matter of habit or convention.
ORGANIZATIONAL
DEVELOPMENT
Here we look at organization development
not as a time for training and classes but as a
detailed plan of execution of how we are
going to get from Point A to Point B by
building sustainable capabilities.
COMMUNICATION
Good communication is above all else
authentic and purposeful.
Goodwill Ambassador Since:
Terri became a Goodwill Ambassador in 2007 and served
