In this Leadership in Action special, we meet the 2019 honorees. In this segment, we interview Lisa Moon, President and CEO of the Global FoodBanking Network, an international non-profit organization based in Chicago that nourishes the world’s hungry through launching and strengthening food banks in more than 30 countries. Last year, GFN member food banks rescued and redirected food to more than 9 million people facing hunger.
