A Yale grad with more than 20 years of nonprofit and community leadership experience has been named the new executive director of a Connecticut nonprofit that helps people grow their own food, Fox 61 reports.
"Miller is an exceptional leader whose vision and dedication to community development are perfectly aligned with CitySeed's needs," says Christine Kim, chair of CitySeed's board of directors.
"I am confident that under her guidance, CitySeed will continue to flourish and expand its impact in creating a more equitable food system for New Haven."
According to the New Haven Register, CitySeed was founded in 1997 to help people grow their own food and build economic opportunity in New Haven's food system.
It runs a year-round farmers market, a culinary training program for refugees, and a shared-use commercial kitchen for new food businesses.

CitySeed recently bought a home and plans to turn it into a local food hub. Read the Entire Article
