There are days when all the meetings seem worth it. Not always, but sometimes. We've been going through some staff changes with the Sonoma County Food System Alliance, as well as adding some new members. Because of these, today at our regular monthly meeting we took the time to introduce ourselves, and it was wonderful to hear again all the experiences that have brought people to this commitment, in this place and this time.
I'd only seen our facilitator, Katy Mamen, in action once before, and that a few years ago. So I watched to see what I could learn. I'm going to steal her framework for our self-introductions. What is your passion, your path, and your position? Easy to remember, and provocative of interesting stuff without being gimmicky. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised at how many people had to start with their position and organizational identification.
We are finally ready in our FSA to get out there with Food Action Plan. http://aginnovations.org/articles/view/sonoma_county_board_of_supervisors_adopts_sonoma_county_healthy_and_su/
We'll begin getting the organizations we represent to endorse it, and planning four fora on the four pillars of the plan, starting in July and running into early next year. I will be working with a very small group on the Social Equity pillar, targeted for November.
