Our Journey
Stanedin is a social enterprise.
50% of all profits directly support community organizations.
We started Stanedin to give back — with strategy, leadership, and the tools to create real change.
The year Brandon and I turned 40, we started talking seriously about how to give back to our community. We’d spent years volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters, Rotary, United Way, and other local groups — but we wanted to do more.
We also didn’t want to simply donate money. We wanted to use the skills we’d spent years developing to be part of the solution.
We’d both worked in the non-profit world and run our own small businesses. We knew the struggles first-hand — from cash flow and staffing challenges to the uncertainty of what steps to take next. We’d been there too.
Over time, through education, hard work, and persistence, we build the expertise to help others to do the same.
I (Lauren) earned a PhD in Education with a focus on strategic planning and system-wide change. I applied this in a local school board, leading major initiatives and multi-year programs.
Brandon now serves as the Business Relationship Officer for the Town of Kingsville, where he helps local organizations and entrepreneurs thrive. He brings over 25 years of experience in IT, project management, and business strategy — including previous work as an IT lead in a multi-billion-dollar company.
With our shared interest in business and community, we launched Stanedin — our social enterprise.
I specialize in leadership and organizational change — including strategic planning, change implementation, employee engagement, conflict resolution, and grant coaching.
Brandon specializes in helping small businesses and nonprofits streamline their operations and adopt the right tech solutions. His expertise spans infrastructure, cybersecurity, and long-term strategic growth.
We’ve also been able to keep our services affordable, donating 50% of our profits directly to community initiatives.
We are truly doing what we have set out to do - helping others gain the confidence and skills required for their company to thrive.
