New Leadership Sparks Fresh Beginnings at Kearsarge Food Hub!
The Kearsarge Food Hub team is excited to share that we have hired a new Executive Director to help us grow into the next decade: Rob McGregor!
Please join us in welcoming Rob to the team! We had many great candidates apply for this position, and Rob rose to the surface as a committed leader with both the skills and the heart to help the organization grow meaningfully into the years ahead.
Rob brings to the Kearsarge Food Hub a track record of nonprofit leadership, with deep experience in financial, strategic and organizational management. He served as the Executive Director of the Southern District YMCA, where he helped transform the organization into a vibrant community hub by developing a 33,000-square-foot full facility, growing Camp Lincoln, A 67-acre summer and year-round camp, and adopting a Community Farm/CSA, that focused on community volunteerism and educational farm camps.
In recent years, Rob has continued to innovate and lead with purpose. He converted an 18-acre property into Westcott Farm, focusing on growing organic food and building community, served as the Executive Director of LISTEN Community Services in Lebanon, and is co-founding The Upper Valley Community Kitchen in Hanover—a nonprofit aimed at tackling food insecurity and supporting local economic development through a “buy one/give one” meal model and a welcoming community coffee house.
