COLUMBUS, Ohio, Feb. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, a national non-profit public charity, today welcomed Josh Sell as a member of its board of trustees, serving a three-year term.
Sell is the Executive Vice President & Chief Supply Chain Officer at Quality Supply Chain Cooperative, Inc. (QSCC), which is a 501(c)(3) that operates the supply chain of The Wendy's Company.
"I am humbled and honored to have the opportunity to serve on the board of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption," said Sell. "Having been associated with the Wendy's® family for over 15 years, the Foundation and its mission are something I am not only familiar with, but very passionate about."
"Understanding supplier relationships is essential to continue growing support for the Foundation's work within the Wendy's system.
