Lunch is on the club for all prospective members April 28!The program speaker at the meeting will be Rob Zeaske, CEO of Second Harvest Heartland. He will speak about "Feeding Our Hungry Neighbors."
Zeaske has been CEO since 2008. He has overall responsibility for leadership, planning and management of Second Harvest Heartland. Under his direction, the food bank has not only grown in size and scale, but also has earned a reputation as an innovator and national thought leader in hunger relief. Zeaske is helping change the conversation about hunger relief by bringing together partners from private and public organizations that have a stake in closing the missing meal gap.
He is a hopeful voice intent on finding more efficient and innovative ways to help neighbors in need.
“Of the many problems our community faces, hunger is one that we can solve,” he says. “There is more than enough food in the heartland to feed everyone. By constantly looking for new ways to work with each other and with our partners, we can help put that food on the table for hundreds of thousands of hungry families.”
Prior to joining Second Harvest Heartland, Zeaske led fundraising and government relations for Boston-based Jumpstart, which is nationally recognized for preparing schoolchildren for success, and served as a Harvard Business School Service Leadership Fellow for Mercy Corps. He holds an MBA from the Harvard Business School and a BA in political science from Stanford University.
