## Resource

Debbie Espinosa, a seasoned nonprofit leader with over 30 years of experience and deep ties to Kansas City, is stepping into the role of president and CEO at Harvesters, the Community Food Network. Formerly leading FIND Regional Food Bank in California, Espinosa brings transformative leadership and innovation expertise — and she’s no stranger to the region, having interned with Harvesters and served local Y organizations. Board chair Kevin Strathman calls her a “transformational leader” perfectly suited for the role, while Espinosa herself expressed honor at returning to a community that shaped her values. She officially begins her new duties at the end of August. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
