Troy Gilbert Named Executive Director of Alameda Food Bank
Gilbert started in his new role at the Alameda Food Bank last week, replacing Hank Leeper, who left at the end of September.
From an Alameda Food Bank press release:
Troy Gilbert has been chosen as the new executive director for the Alameda Food Bank.
He comes to the Food Bank after 25 years of experience in higher education, including organizing and directing services for students at Stanford University and UC Berkeley.
Originally from Indiana, Troy came to California in 1988 and to the Bay Area in 1991.
His involvement with the Alameda Food Bank began last May when he became a board member and subsequently volunteered assisting operations and set up.
Troy looks forward to using his experience with management and organizational effectiveness to continue the long tradition of successful service delivery of the Alameda Food Bank.
Troy also serves on the board of directors of the First Congregational Church of Berkeley.
He and his partner John moved to Alameda three years ago and their twins are first graders.
Troy is excited about working with the food bank, particularly in ensuring smooth operations, getting to know the hundreds of volunteers, building strong connections with our community partners, and doing educational programs on issues of hunger and poverty in the city of Alameda.
