Ken Losch serves as President of the Board of Directors for Steps to Success, where he is committed to expanding educational opportunities, strengthening community partnerships, and supporting initiatives that empower individuals to achieve long-term success. With a background in leadership, education, and business development, he brings a collaborative, strategic approach to mentoring and organizational growth.

As a former parent to a Steps student, this program has given my daughter a wonderful experience, that I felt it was something that I wanted to give back to when I joined in the board in 2025.
