Leadership
Summary: Fred Glass has been president and CEO since 1 October 2022, according to the organization. The official leaders page also names six other senior officers and four board officers, with a longer list of board members.
Who is the president and CEO?
The official leaders page and biography identify Fred Glass as president and chief executive officer.[1][2] The biography says he took office on 1 October 2022.[2] It describes a legal career at Baker and Daniels (now Faegre Drinker), where he chaired the management committee for five years, and later at Taft, a period as Indiana University vice president and athletic director from 2009 through 2020, earlier service as chief of staff to Governor Evan Bayh, and a clerkship for U.S. District Judge S. Hugh Dillin.[2] The biography places that career in Indianapolis public life. The office is the presidency of a Feeding America food bank, not a government post.
Compensation figures appear on IRS Form 990 filings compiled by ProPublica and are public record.[3] This wiki does not treat a single year’s salary as a character portrait; readers who need the latest filing should open the Nonprofit Explorer record. Officer titles on a 990 can lag a website; the leaders page is treated as the more current roster when the two differ.[1]
Who else is named on the senior team?
As of the leaders page reviewed for this edition, the senior leadership team also includes Sarah Estell, chief outreach officer; Melissa Hill, chief administrative officer; Gail Lowry, chief philanthropy officer; Joseph Slater, chief operations officer; Shawna Sims-Caldwell, chief network officer; and Tiffany Stead, chief financial officer.[1] The financials page names Tiffany Stead as the CFO contact.[4] Titles can change; the official page is the live list.
Who are the board officers named?
The same official page lists board officers: chairperson Christina Hage, CEO of Managed Health Services; vice chairperson Ashish Batra, vice president of crop health R&D at Corteva Agriscience; treasurer Sabine Karner, vice president and controller at Citizens Energy Group; and secretary Sara Gonso Tait, SVP Legal – Regulated Industries at Fanatics Betting & Gaming.[1] Additional board members are named there with their organizational affiliations.[1] Older 990 filings list earlier officer slates, which is expected as terms turn over.[3]
This page does not reprint a full board directory in structured data beyond the CEO, because affiliations and seats change and because the official list should remain the authority. People seeking to contact the board should use official channels, not this wiki.
Questions often asked
Does this wiki invent staff biographies?
No. Names and titles come from the official leaders pages. Career details for Fred Glass come from the official biography.
Why might a Form 990 list different officers?
Filings lag the website, and board terms turn over. This wiki prefers the current official leaders page for the live roster and cites 990s as public financial record.
