The World Soy Foundation has announced the selection of Nathan Ruby as Executive Director to lead the charitable organization effective January 4, 2010. As the foundation's Executive Director, Ruby will lead WSF's work to develop sustainable solutions to build healthy, thriving communities worldwide. He will work out of the American Soybean Association's headquarters in St. Louis. Ruby previously served as the major gifts manager for the Nuts, Bolts and Thingamajigs Foundation based in Rockford, Illinois.
World Soy Foundation Board Chairman Roy Bardole, a soybean farmer from Rippey, Iowa, believes the World Soy Foundation can play an important role in countering the sobering statistic that world hunger reached an historic high this year with one-in-six people being undernourished. The foundation works collaboratively with humanitarian organizations, corporations, public and private foundations, international organizations, U.S. and international governments, and individuals to deliver soy protein and nutrition education to people in developing nations.
