James “Jim” Floros LIVE on The Greater Good with Jeff Wohler Ep 418 - a podcast by IQ Podcasts

Jim is a 38-year nonprofit professional—29 years as a CEO. Jim started his nonprofit journey at the World Headquarters of Project Concern International where he last served as the Director of Community Relations. Jim then took his talents to the Burn Institute of San Diego, where he first served as the Director of Development and then, 18 months later, moved into the CEO role, which he
held for 20 years. During his tenure at the Burn Institute, Jim led the organization into becoming the leading burn foundation in North America.

In 2012, Jim joined the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank (SDFB) as President/CEO. Under his leadership, the SDFB nearly tripled its annual budget and increased the agency’s reserves ten- fold. The SDFB also tripled the number of children benefiting from the agency’s hallmark Food 4 Kids Backpack Program. During his tenure, the SDFB became one of the premier food banks not only in California but nationally. In 2015 Floros led the effort to assume control of the North County Food Bank (NCFB). Soon after, the NCFB quadrupled the pounds of food distributed, tripled its service population, and quadrupled the number of children on the backpack program in San Diego’s North
County.
Under Jim’s leadership the SDFB service population almost doubled from 320,000 to nearly 600,000 during the COVID-19 pandemic; and throughout his tenure the agency’s annual food distribution increased from 18 to nearly 60 million pounds.
