We live in a world of such abundance, and it is inexcusable for people, whether in this city, region, or nation, to experience food insecurity. The mission of Lovin’ Spoonfuls directly addresses that issue - finding excess food and providing to those in need. I was very impressed with their, now our, model and wanted to support it. u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eI became more knowledgeable and impressed after I joined the Board. Seeing and hearing directly from the team about the day-to-day operations of food rescue. We just celebrated rescuing our 25th millionth pound of food. It’s just remarkable.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt's important to me to support and mentor women in leadership roles, too. Being not only the first female equity partner at my firm but the first woman on the firm’s management committee has inspired a deep commitment in me to the advancement of women in the workplace - and the fact that the entire Senior Leadership team at Spoonfuls is female is incredibly important.
