Join the Council
The Council recently restructured. Quarterly meetings are held in-person. Working groups have formed and meet more frequently or as-needed, depending on the task.
New members are always welcome! Interested in a Working Group? Contact us for more information: adamsfoodpolicy@gmail.com
Working Groups:
Community Engagement
This group plans events to engage the community, growers, those in the charitable food network, and more. Some events are large scale, some are collaborations with events hosted by our member organizations, and others are small scale engagements.
This group usually meets in person.
Communications and Marketing
This group runs the social media accounts, manages the website, and is developing/will send out our monthly newsletter.
This group usually meets in person.
Policy and Advocacy
This group sets our policy goals for the year, provides updates on legislation, and designs advocacy actions that don't jeopardize 501c3 status.
This group always meets virtually.
Food Programs
This group supports the logistics, decision making (to some extent), and facilitation of our food access programs (Healthy Options, Double Dollars, Fruit and Veggie Bucks, and Military Share). This group also serves as a convener for those working across the charitable food network to network and swap information/updates.
This group meets virtually for now.
Ad-hoc working group: Emergency Services Collaboration
This is a "temporary" group that is working on a project with emergency services about disaster preparedness.
This group meets a variety of ways and with different combinations of members, depending on needs.
