The speakers, entertainment and program
	Jim Gibbons is President and CEO of Goodwill Industries International, one of Goodwill/Easter Seals Minnesota's parent organizations. Before coming to Goodwill in April 2008, Gibbons served as President and CEO of National Industries for the Blind (NIB).  Through comprehensive marketing and branding strategies and an emphasis on aggressive mission measures, Gibbons transformed the nearly 70 year-old NIB into a results-oriented social enterprise for the 21st century.  An expert at social enterprise management, socioeconomic program strategy and leadership skills development, Gibbons is a veteran speaker, guest lecturer and information resource for educators, advocates and journalists.  He has been featured in more than 100 national and regional media outlets including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, FOX Business News, and CNN.
	Staci Matthews is co-host with Moon on the KS95-FM afternoon show. Staci joined KS95 along with Moon in 2003 for the only two-person afternoon show in the Twin Cities. Staci is married to Tony, and together they have three pet cats named Phoebe, Lily and Loki. Staci is a breast cancer survivor and credits her cat, Phoebe, for first discovering it. It was caught early and Staci has been cancer-free since January 2004. Staci is an avid runner, kayaker and photographer. She's just discovered the fun of snowmobiling, thanks to her husband and his "Up North" upbringing. You will find her at the movies or at the theater during her off time, or off traveling the world with Tony.
