CHARLOTTE, N.C., March 8, 2024 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Samaritan’s Feet International has officially announced the appointment of Jim McCafferty as its new Chief Operating Officer. In a notable act of altruism, McCafferty has decided to forgo his salary to further the nonprofit's mission of providing shoes to those in need across the United States and globally.
With a rich background in strategic planning, organizational effectiveness, finance, and leadership development, McCafferty is expected to significantly contribute to the operational and strategic initiatives of Samaritan’s Feet. His previous roles include Chief Operating Officer at AAA (Auto Club Group and Carolinas) and Executive Vice President at GuideOne Insurance Company.
McCafferty expressed his enthusiasm about his new role in a press release, stating, “I’m honored to have the opportunity to join Samaritan’s Feet and be a part of the talented team here engaged in Kingdom work and passionate about serving others. Working with Samaritan’s Feet helps one to bridge from a life built on the world’s definition of success to one of significance. Thank you to each person and company who has supported Samaritan’s Feet. Fulfilling the calling of the organization is impossible without their engagement and partnership.”
In his new position, McCafferty will collaborate closely with Samaritan’s Feet Founder and CEO, Manny Ohonme, to execute the organization’s vision of eliminating shoelessness, leveraging his expertise to enhance operational efficiency and expand the charity’s reach both domestically and internationally.
Ohonme praised McCafferty’s commitment and leadership qualities, saying, “We are thrilled to welcome McCafferty as Chief Operating Officer to Samaritan’s Feet. His decision to not walk past our strategic need for a seasoned leader to help take our organization to the next level as a ‘Samaritan Leader’ and forego his salary speaks volumes about his selflessness and commitment to creating positive change in our world. His exceptional background in strategic leadership and operational excellence will help Samaritan’s Feet reach its goal of serving 1.1 million people around the world in 2024.”
