Dennis A. North, CPA, was appointed to Food For The Poor’s (FFTP) Board of Directors in December 2024. Previously, North served as the charity’s Executive Vice President & Chief Administrative Officer/Chief Financial Officer.

For nearly 15 years, he was responsible for the financial oversight of the organization and the core administrative functions that support business processing. A longtime Florida resident, North is a graduate of Florida State University and a Certified Public Accountant. After nine years in the public accounting industry, he was approached by one of his clients to work for a regional chain of auto parts stores as their Controller, later being promoted to CFO.

Seventeen years later, North opened his own accounting office and specialized in providing interim CFO/Controller services for businesses. After a year and a half on his own, North accepted a permanent position as the CFO at FFTP in August 2008. He seamlessly combined his corporate accounting expertise with his passion for serving others less fortunate until his retirement in June 2023. North and his wife have two children and one grandson and live in Boca Raton, Fla. In addition to his new appointment to the FFTP Board of Directors, North serves on the Board of Alzheimer’s Community Care, Inc., of West Palm Beach, Fla., where he is a member of the Audit, Finance and Human Resources committees.
