FEATURED MOVER | Tim Regan, Paul’s Place

Paul’s Place announced Tim Regan will lead the nonprofit organization as its new executive director, effective Monday.

Regan, who was most recently the executive director of FoodWorks, the workforce development program and social enterprise of the Maryland Food Bank, joins the organization following a six-month search to replace William “Bill” McLennan, who announced his retirement in 2021.

In joining Paul’s Place, Regan will oversee the more than two dozen services and programs the organization offers to low-income individuals and families in the Washington Village/Pigtown community of Baltimore, including its newest endeavor, Groundwork Kitchen, a restaurant and catering business that houses a culinary arts workforce development program. In addition, he will work to expand programming and partnerships with other organizations as the nonprofit continues its mission to improve the quality of life in the Southwest Baltimore communities.
