Most recently chairman and CEO of Hershey, Lenny was previously group vice president of Kraft Foods and president of Nabisco Biscuit and Snacks following the company’s acquisition by Kraft in 2000. Lenny retired from Hershey in December 2007.


The appointment brings the total number of board members to eleven.


“I am very pleased to welcome Rick to our board,” said Steven Goldstone, chairman of ConAgra Foods. “Rick’s extensive experience with major consumer brands in the food industry will be a true asset to the company.”
