Denny Winkelman

Denny, one of the original trios alongside Rick and Darcy Shoreman, joined the Board of Directors in 2015. Now Vice Chairman of the Board and President of PACT International, he's committed to student safety. As President-elect for the Rotary Club of Jacksonville Florida in the 2024-25 year, Denny collaborates with Rotary International District 6970 to offer high school students the opportunity to take the free SACT Training Program.

Denny was raised in San Francisco, CA where he helped transform a family business, Howard Quinn Publishing Company, into one of the largest and oldest printing plants. Denny developed relationships and partners through the western region before settling in Portland, OR. Adapting to market changes, his team introduced new technologies to serve his clients such as Nike, Fred Meyer, Columbia Sportswear, Hollywood Video, and others.

Denny's community service extended beyond his involvement with the Portland First Presbyterian Church. He also mentored youths while on the board for Boys & Girls Clubs in the Portland Metropolitan Area. As a father of four daughters and four grandchildren, Denny has a profound insight into the challenges and vulnerabilities faced by adolescents and emerging adults.

Denny envisions PACT providing innovative education solutions worldwide for all children and students.
