Mike Daly
Inaugural Board Chair, President (ODB Board Chair 2010-2012)

“It has been a great honor to develop the ODB Strategic Plan and be a part of a dynamic, talented, and passionate group of Board members.  Meeting the foster kids in our first ODB training program was an awakening for me, as they shared their stories and the reality of their challenges in sharp contrast with the passion and dreams that they so eloquently shared, changed me forever.  Realizing incredible kids like them fall through the cracks every day, their talents untapped, their hopes and dreams so easily lost to the streets, was a defining moment in my life — a calling to help create a plan for change.”

A proven entrepreneur and speaker, Mike has extensive experience in business consulting and strategic planning. As president of CSI Creative Solutions, Inc., Mike specializes in designing creative solutions to companies’ most difficult problems. As ODB’s first Board Chair, Mike created the three year strategic plan, which the ODB team executed in a little over two years. He has grown the organization by connecting ODB with community, corporate, educational, non-profit, and government entities.
