An interim executive director has been announced for Meals on Wheels of Sarasota.

The organization’s board of directors appointed Rhonda Leiberick to the role. While in transition, she will be working with Invest in Incredible consultants to refresh organizational policies by developing growth strategies and processes to determine the impact Meals on Wheels has, a press release states. Invest in Incredible is an initiative of the Gulf Coast Community Foundation.

Prior to this role, Leiberick was with Habitat for Humanity Sarasota for nine years, where she eventually became program director. In that position she managed a capital campaign and grew the organization’s donor base.

“I believe Rhonda will greatly enhance client services and programs with her leadership experience and passion to serve the community,” Elizabeth Van Riper, board member, says in the release. “The entire board is thrilled to work with Rhonda to further the mission of Meals On Wheels of Sarasota.”

The nonprofit was founded in 1971 to carry out the mission of delivering meals to persons in need in Sarasota.
