Lyndsey Haight, MSW, is the Executive Director of Our Neighbors’ Table (ONT), a post she has held since 2010. At a very young age, she was inspired by the spirit of Mahatma Gandhi that this world provides enough for everyone and has shaped her life’s work to create strong and just communities. Ms. Haight has 24 years of experience in the Social Work field and nonprofit administration and leadership. Her portfolio encompasses a broad range of coalition building, organizational development and change management from leadership transition, corporate restructuring, mergers, strategic planning, systems development, and capital campaigns and projects, all with a focus on results and impact. Her greatest achievement is when ONT declared Amesbury its first food-secure city in 2018. She now leads the organization toward its vision of establishing universal food access across all 12 towns of Massachusetts northeastern Essex County by 2029.
