R.I. food bank director leaving for new post

The executive director of the Rhode Island Community Food Bank has resigned to accept a position with an international hunger relief organization.

Bernie Beaudreau had led the food bank for 11 years. He will take a senior position with the Chicago-based Global FoodBanking Network.

"Bernie has accomplished a great deal working towards the elimination of hunger in our state and now returns his talents, experience and expertise to the international arena," said Douglas Johnson, the president of the food bank's board of directors.

The food bank has appointed Rosie Connors, a senior employee with the organization, to serve as interim executive director effective Oct. 1.
