The Foodbank of Santa Barbara County has announced that Christine Bisson has been elected to serve as the organization’s new board chair for the 2023/2024 term.
Ms. Bisson, who replaces Interim Board Chair Dr. Charles Stolar, began her term on July 1.
Ms. Bisson is currently an associate professor and coordinator for the Food Science and Nutrition Program at Allan Hancock College, where she has been teaching since 2000. In her role as a nutrition instructor, she became increasingly aware of challenges faced by the growing numbers of students impacted by food insecurity. Her work with the college’s Food Security Action Team and Food Share program introduced her to the work of the Foodbank of Santa Barbara County.
