How Does Healthy Accountability Impact Our Communities? 

The Good Leadership Breakfast Series is in full swing, and the next guest speaker is an exceptional leader who understands the power of accountability in driving positive change. On April 11, guests will meet Allison O’Toole, CEO of Second Harvest Heartland. Allison’s leadership is a testament to how a clear vision, strong values, and disciplined follow-through can make a lasting impact on the communities served by Second Harvest Heartland—one of the most influential food banks in the US.

Leading with Purpose and Healthy Accountability

The Pathway to Healthy Accountability is the guiding theme for this year’s series, focusing on how leaders create environments where people take ownership, embrace teamwork, and deliver high-quality results on time. Allison brings a unique perspective to this conversation—she has seen firsthand how accountability—both internally within her team and externally to the communities served—shapes ongoing success.

Accountability during the pandemic tested and strengthened the organization’s innovation and determination. From hosting press conferences on Facebook Live with just an iPhone (just like the Good Leadership Breakfast did in early 2020) to new strategies overnight, Allison and her team figured it out together and emerged stronger.

Moonshot Strategy

Now, the organization is stepping into a bold new vision. In 2024, Allison declared through the media the goal of cutting the hunger rate in half for all Minnesotans by 2030—including 90% of Minnesotans affording the food they need by that same date.  She and her team are determined to thrive through this period of significant disruption.
