The CCOF Foundation announced on May 5 that it will host small-group feedback sessions for its members on May 27 and 28. The purpose of these sessions is to gather input from organic farmers and producers about the resources, grants, education, and other supports needed to maintain successful organic operations.
According to the organization, this initiative aims to ensure that the Foundation’s programs are aligned with the needs of its community. Member feedback collected during these sessions will directly influence future priorities for the Foundation.
Lena Carew, an independent consultant, will facilitate all discussions. The Foundation said that audio from each session will be recorded solely for research purposes and that participant responses will be anonymized in final reports. Each session is scheduled for one hour via Zoom and is limited to twelve participants on a first-come, first-served basis.
Members who participate in a session will receive a $50 credit or gift card as a thank-you. Registration confirmation emails with Zoom links will be sent automatically upon signing up. Those needing assistance with registration or having questions about the process are encouraged to contact Lena Carew directly at lena@thejusticecollective.com.
The CCOF Foundation said it hopes many members join these sessions so their perspectives can help shape future support services.
