His extraordinary leadership skills and community work experience will have a broad impact at the World Bank, where he will run the philanthropic, volunteer and other community outreach initiatives. Although we will miss Lindsey terribly, we are incredibly proud of all that Martha's Table has achieved during his tenure, which leaves us well positioned to continue fulfilling our mission of transforming lives by engaging the community in developing sustainable solutions to poverty. </span></p>

During his years at Martha's Table, Michael has had an impressive record of success and increasing responsibility. Before coming to Martha's Table, Michael had a range of experience in management and community work, from Senior Vice President for Corporate Services at AOL, to soup kitchen and homeless shelter volunteer. Members of the Board and Senior Staff will also be assuming additional responsibilities to ensure a smooth transition and Martha's Table's continued success. We are grateful to them all for their service and skillful leadership.</span></p>
