We are delighted to announce Margaret Williams as the new Executive Director of The Food Project. With over fifteen years in non-profit experience, including leadership positions at ReadBoston and Thompson Island Outward Bound, Margaret brings a wealth of experience in organizational growth, strategy, and fundraising.

Earlier today, while thinking about her new responsibility that begins on Monday, Margaret shared:
“The Food Project has always been ahead of its time, recognizing the power of youth working together to produce social good through sustainable agriculture. The challenge now is twofold: to ensure The Food Project continues to affect measurable change within our own communities while also remaining in the vanguard of what has become a national movement. I look forward to helping The Food Project achieve its ground-breaking vision both locally and nationally.”

The Board of Trustees, the Search Committee, and staff are excited by the leadership and energy she brings to the organization and appreciate your continued support during our executive transition and into our next phase of leadership.

We would like to thank Search Committee members for their hard work and commitment over the last year and in particular Josh Solomon, chair of the Search Committee. In addition, we would like to recognize Susan MacDougall for her exceptional leadership as Interim Executive Director. All of us at The Food Project look forward to having you meet Margaret in the near future.
