Rhode Island Foundation president and CEO Neil Steinberg to retire next year

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (WLNE) — Neil Steinberg, the president and CEO of the Rhode Island Foundation, is set to retire next May.

“Neil has been a transformative leader for the Rhode Island Foundation and for the entire state,” said Dr. G. Alan Kurose, Rhode Island Foundation board chair.

Steinberg has been with the foundation since 2008. He plans to lead the organization’s operations and strategies, and offer transition support, while the board of directors launches a national search for his successor.

“At 68 years old, I am looking forward to spending more time with my family and exploring a next chapter in my career,” said Steinberg. “I expect to continue committing significant time and energy to the community, and to Rhode Island.”
