MFCC Spring Summit: 2nd Year Review

Leave a comment

The Monadnock Farm & Community Coalition (MFCC) Spring 2015 Summit is an opportunity for coalition members to revisit the Strategic Plan and review system-wide progress. Time will allow for members to report on activities, share successes, announce upcoming events, and express present needs with other member organizations and the community-at-large. Our goal is to provide the constituency time to network, engage in each others work, promote and cross-pollinate information and identify collaborations and gaps.

Additionally, MFCC’s sub-committees – the Education and Policy Working Groups – will report on past year’s activities and share work plans for 2015.

Join Monadnock Farm & Community Coalition for their third Quarterly Forum of 2014  — their second focused on policy advocacy. Throughout the Monadnock Region, policy is in the process of being formed – we need YOUR VOICE! In addition, we will also explore the relationship between state policy and local – how does one impact the other?
