After an extensive, nationwide search by the Lowcountry Food Bank Board of Directors, we are proud to announce the appointment of our new President & CEO, Nick Osborne.
Most recently, Vice President of International Programs & Operations at CAREUSA, his extensive 30 year career as a leader in international development and humanitarian operations within the non-profit sector makes him aptly prepared to lead the Food Bank into a successful future.
“Nick has a deeply held passion for the well-being of vulnerable individuals and communities that are unable to meet their needs,” mentioned Shelley Yuhas, LCFB Board Chair. “He is strongly committed to creating positive and lasting social change through collaborative and partnership-driven approaches in our Lowcountry community.”
Previously, Osborne has worked in over 40 developing and high-risk countries with global, international organizations. He is skilled in strategic planning, leading change, innovation, program management and communication.
“Nick brings extensive non-profit expertise to our community, and I am confident that his leadership will bring even more innovation and impact to the fight against hunger in the Lowcountry,” expressed Pat Walker, LCFB President & CEO. “We are excited to work with Nick to ensure a smooth transition to the LCFB’s next phase of growth and service to our food insecure neighbors.”
Osborne possesses a successful track record of leading diverse teams while driving organizational growth and impact. He was inspired at a young age to serve people in need while volunteering in Zambia, which shaped his professional career.
“I am honored and excited to join the dedicated team at the Lowcountry Food Bank at such a critical time, when so many people across the coastal communities of South Carolina continue to go hungry every day,” said Osborne. “I look forward to working with the Lowcountry Food Bank’s many partners, who together, remain committed to the equitable access of healthy food for all.”
Osborne is set to take the helm on January 25, 2021.
Welcome Nick!
