Leslie Gordan, President and CEO of Food Bank for New York City, leads one of the nation's largest hunger relief organizations, leading the organization to double its national output to nearly 150 million pounds in less than 18 months. She also plans to distribute more than 121 million meals across the five boroughs in 2021, more meals than ever before in the organization's history. Gordan credits her success to her mother, Myra, who broke barriers as the Executive Director of Hunts Point Produce Market in the South Bronx. She believes that women have an opportunity to make an impact as anyone else. Looking forward, Gordan acknowledges the increasing challenges facing women in leadership roles and acknowledges the rising costs of rent, health insurance benefits, and the decline in SNAP benefits.
