Thought for Food: Community Presentation with Sam Landercasper

Join Nourish Nantucket for its community presentation series entitled “Thought for Food.” Each program will provide an update on Nourish Nantucket's work to alleviate food insecurity with its network of partners and a short presentation from a guest speaker in the food sector.

In May, we are honored to invite Sam Landercasper of BEAM Partners. Sam will present the results of a food insecurity study that he completed as part of a grant from Remain Nantucket. 

Sam Landercasper is the Founder and Principal of BEAM Partners, a consulting practice that supports nonprofits and public agencies in building stronger, more equitable systems of food security and financial stability. Drawing on over ten years of experience in human services leadership, Sam helps organizations translate their vision into action through strategic planning, systems development, and collaborative project management. He works nationally with nonprofits, philanthropies, and local government partners to develop strategies that enhance measurable outcomes for individuals and communities.

About Sam: 
Rooted in his upbringing on an organic beef farm in Minnesota and influenced by a veterinarian mother and physician father, Sam has always been drawn to community health and local food systems.
