April 2018
Bryan Seck, Prosper Lincoln’s Developer for Employment Skills, presented Steve Parker, Store Director at the Hy-Vee at 27th & Superior, with the first ever Prosper Lincoln Step Up award. Parker made local news in late 2017 when Lorenzo Ramos-Diaz, a grocery sacker at the Hy-Vee graduated from high school. Lorenzo was struggling to graduate but never gave up on school. Parker and other managers supported and encouraged Lorenzo to finish his diploma and keep his eye on the possibility for future promotion. A high school diploma would not only lead to advancement in the company but ensure greater wages for the rest of his working life. Lorenzo is now an assistant manager at the Hy-Vee.
Seck describes Parker as an overall great guy. “He employs many North Star high school students, mentoring and encouraging them. He understands how important this stable first job can be.”
Parker has also stepped up to the Prosper Lincoln community agenda by participating in hiring fairs to find the next quality leader like Lorenzo. This community-minded store director also donates 300-400 donuts each year to Project Homeless Connect.
