Korey was nominated by our Board Chair, Pat Gamble-Moore, who said, “Korey’s role as a board member has been extremely impactful, to say the least. From leading our Human Resources Committee which resulted in a significantly improved HR infrastructure, to now leading an effort to improve our board governance structure, he has truly made us better.  He has put in countless hours of his personal time and has shown tremendous passion for Second Helpings. He is that board member everyone would love to have!”
