    Speaker: Brian McMahon, Executive Director, Operation Fresh Start

    Since 1970, Operation Fresh Start (OFS) has empowered more than 9,000 emerging adults on a pathway to a life-sustaining career.  Operation Fresh Start's mission encompasses a wide range of objectives aimed at supporting young women and men through various programs.

    Brian McMahon will cover the scope of work undertaken by OFS, the specific programs offered, and the criteria used to define successful outcomes.

    Additionally, he will discuss the lessons learned from programs that have faced challenges and not succeeded as planned, emphasizing the importance of community support for OFS's continued efforts.

    About Brian McMahon: Brian McMahon first joined Operation Fresh Start in 1998 as a construction crew supervisor for what is now called Legacy, a high school alternative where students earn their diplomas while serving their community as AmeriCorps members. He has grown with the organization, becoming the placement coordinator in 2004 and then deputy director in 2011, where he has worked closely with the outgoing executive director, Greg Markle. Prior to OFS, McMahon worked as a carpenter and parks ranger.
