Prosser to bring entrepreneurial spirit and visionary focus to growing board of directors.
Janesville, Wis. (February 20, 2024) – KANDU Industries Inc., a Rock County, Wis.-based non-profit that provides programs and services to people with disabilities and disadvantages, today announced that Michael Prosser has joined its board of directors.
As president of Henrici’s Management Corporation, which owns and operates several successful food service businesses in the Stateline area, including Hoffman House Catering, Prosser will bring experience as an entrepreneur and visionary to KANDU’s board of directors, influencing long-term strategic planning and appropriate financial risk for growth and innovation.
Prosser and Hoffman House purchased KANDU’s former Best Events facility at 2030 Center Avenue in Janesville in 2023 where they are now offering catering and rental services to Janesville and the surrounding communities.
“We became acquainted with Michael when his company purchased our former Best Events facility in 2023,” said KANDU Executive Director Kathy Hansen. “We were not only happy to find a buyer who will continue offering catering and rental services to the community but also quickly identified Michael’s business acumen, high standards and commitment to making a positive impact in his community, qualities that we look for in potential board members. We are thrilled to bring Michael’s unique talent to our board.”
“I am honored to be invited to join KANDU’s prestigious board of directors and the opportunity to work closely with this group of community-focused professionals to examine new and innovative ways to bring positive, life-changing opportunities for people with disabilities,” said Prosser. “I knew during my first tour of KANDU, when I had the opportunity to learn more about its mission and meet its clients, that I wanted to contribute in a meaningful way.”
During Hoffman House’s grand opening at their new location in Janesville last fall, Prosser presented a $5,000 check to KANDU to demonstrate the company’s commitment to KANDU’s mission and making Janesville a better place to work, play, and raise families.
