Steering Team
“The deep changes necessary to accelerate progress against society’s most intractable problems require a unique type of leader-the system leader, a person who catalyzes collective leadership.”
– The Dawn of System Leadership
The Steering Team guides the strategic direction of the Network.
Team members include a representative from each CFN Work Group as well as food system leaders and stakeholders who represent diverse demographics, geographies, sectors, and communities throughout the region. Examples of Steering Team members include representatives from other networks (e.g. environment, economics, and health), state food council/organization leaders, funders, decision makers, equity consultants, and other process-oriented and system-level thought leaders.
