Padraig Gallagher will start officially on Tuesday (Sept. 1) as the new executive director of Stepping Stones of Dunn County.
He succeeds Katherine Dutton, who is retiring after 12 years in that position. She will overlap with Gallagher at Stepping Stones for a brief period to provide some orientation for the transition.
Gallagher has been an instructor and lecturer in ethics, logic and philosophy, in Colorado as well as at UW-Stout and UW-Eau Claire. He has also worked at Feed My People Food Bank in Eau Claire.
His background also includes years of service as a volunteer fire fighter. Most recently, he worked in a supervisory role with a local food manufacturer.
