A longtime board member and trainer for the Neighborhood Development Center (NDC), Lachelle Cunningham has served as board chair for the past 18 months. She brings experience as a social entrepreneur: She’s the founding executive chef of Breaking Bread Café, an enterprise of Appetite for Change that supports building health, wealth, and social change in North Minneapolis. That mission aligns well with NDC, a St. Paul-based organization that supports entrepreneurs from startup to expansion through training, loans, and business services. Whether it’s working through an NDC business incubator project or being involved in how NDC develops and values its staff members, Cunningham has a reputation for showing up fully engaged, with an inclusive and warm style.
