Jeff Quinn joined Book Harvest in September 2023 with a proven track record of leadership and innovation in the nonprofit sector. He holds a Master’s in Public Health from the University of North Carolina Gillings School of Global Public Health and a Bachelor of Arts from Drury University. His unique blend of skills and experience will play a pivotal role in advancing Book Harvest's mission to provide books for every child, support for every family, and literacy for every community.

In his previous role as National Director of Programs at Family Connects International, Quinn led internal and external operations, building strategic partnerships with philanthropy and community organizations (Book Harvest among them) and overseeing program launches in multiple states. He also spearheaded the organization's diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts, showcasing his dedication to social justice and anti-racist policies.

“Throughout my time in the nonprofit sector, I have come across so many organizations that are doing great things and helping children and families in their community," said Quinn. “Book Harvest is one of those organizations that I have had tremendous respect for as they have been a pillar in Durham and are now looking to expand to other parts of North Carolina. Ginger and the rest of the Book Harvest team are truly inspirational, and it is an honor and privilege to be able to join them in their mission to ensure that all children grow up in homes that are rich with books.”
