Todd Imwalle

Board Member at Kids Read Now

An experienced Vice President of Sales in the technology and construction spaces, Todd brings to the KRN Board his analytical skills, coaching expertise, as well as his vast experiences in government, event management, and team building. He is a strong sales professional with a Bachelor of Science (BS) focused in COM, MGT from University of Dayton. Passionate about literacy, Todd is motivated by facts: 75% of disadvantaged children are not proficient in reading when they start fourth grade, and most will never catch up. In fact, the summer reading slide is responsible for 65% of the learning gap between rich and poor. Minority male students who are a year or more behind their peers in their reading level have a higher likelihood of dropping out of school or serving jail time. Economic prosperity requires that they teach the children to read and reverse the summer slide. Todd’s desire to see these numbers change drives his work with KRN.
