   No Child Hungry

   As SVP and COO of No Child Hungry, my focus is on the growth of our ability to serve children in need around the corner and around the globe. As a mission-focused 501(c)3 organization, we work hard to secure the resources needed to be a force in the fight against childhood hunger and to maximize those resources to reach as many children as possible.Among my responsibilities, I oversee our digital presence and marketing, as well as our educational programs, our community partnerships, and our long-term organizational planning. Our focus, from day one, has been to drive the dollars so generously donated to the organization directly into providing meals for those in need, so marketing has been a new experience. I\'ve gained a great understanding of how powerful grassroots, in-the-streets, and word-of-mouth can be to spread the message. But, in the end, purpose makes all the difference. No Child Hungry has long been one of the most fiscally responsible and efficient organizations in the 501(c)3 space. We intend to remain just that, which calls for a new level of creative problem-solving, outside-the-box thinking, and the support of so many great individuals and organizations that come alongside No Child Hungry.
