Community Food Security Coalition Membership Meeting
Nov 11-12, 2007
Villas by the Sea, Jekyll Island, Georgia

Overview

CFSC organized this membership meeting to engage members in thinking about and planning for the future of the community food security movement, and for CFSC's role in this movement. We asked for member feedback to help us develop a common vision for our movement, to define CFSC's niche in the movement, and to shape how we involve and support our members. This feedback will be an important part of CFSC's upcoming strategic planning process. The meeting was held in November 2007 in Jekyll Island, Georgia.
