Loaves and Fishes Community Services announces the appointment of George Kestler, retired President and CEO of Americall Group Inc., as new chairman of the board, effective July 1, 2017.

“George has been actively involved in Loaves and Fishes in many ways, and I’m pleased that he has increased his involvement even more by becoming Board Chair,” said outgoing Board Chair, Paul Novotny. “George’s experience and his dedication to both our mission and strategic plan will be very beneficial to our organization in his new role.”

Kestler grew up in New York City where he attended and received a B.A. degree in Economics from The City College of New York. He also attended C.W. Post College and Baruch Graduate School of Business. Until his retirement in 2011, he was owner and founder of Americall Corp, a multi-national company with hundreds of employees and offices in three countries.

Kestler became involved with Loaves and Fishes in 2010, first as a donor, then as a volunteer (in registration and VITA); and then on the Board, most recently as Chair of the Finance Committee.

He is also active through his charitable work with The Alex W Nielsen Foundation, a private nonprofit foundation which he and his wife Judy founded.

“I look forward to the opportunity to help lead Loaves and Fishes to a higher level of efficiency and organization, of philanthropy and fund raising,” said George Kestler. “I am committed to help the organization continue its mission and service to lower income people in our community. I have a strong belief in the organization and its mission, people and activities.”

Kester lives in Naperville with his wife Judy of 20 years, and together they have seven grown children and 12 grandchildren.
