Second Harvest Food Bank of Northwest Pennsylvania is getting a new leader.

Gregory Hall has been named CEO, bringing more than a decade of nonprofit leadership experience.

Hall previously worked at Shriners Hospitals for Children in Erie and Sarah Reed Children’s Center. He holds degrees from Gannon University and the University of Pittsburgh.

Hall says he is honored to join Second Harvest and plans to build on the foundation set by outgoing CEO Karen Seggi, who led the organization for 35 years.

"I am excited to drive new growth, with the goal of serving more of our neighbors experiencing food insecurity throughout northwest Pennsylvania," said Hall in a statement.

“It has been a privilege to lead this organization and witness its profound influence on our neighbors and the communities we serve," said Seggi in a statement. "As I transition to my next chapter, I am excited for the future of the Second Harvest.”
