Jeanne Liston – Powerlist – 50 Most Influential Business Leaders in Idaho

Jeanne Liston has served for 17 years as the executive director for The Hunger Coalition, headquartered in Blaine County in Bellevue. She has been responsible for handling the strategic direction of the organization and working in a shared leadership with associate director Naomi Spence and operations director Brooke Pace McKenna since 2017. She works to ensure the coalition has enough resources to undertake its mission to address the root causes of food insecurity and to create a “healthy community through access to good food.”

Liston has helped to grow The Hunger Coalition since her start in 2007, from a food pantry to a nonprofit that provides support and education through a community farm, healthy food pantry, mobile library and several children’s programs. In early 2022, she announced she will step down from her role but will stay on until the fall to ensure a smooth transition in leadership.
