Board Membership

Join our board!

If you have more time to give beyond just on market days, consider joining our board of directors. Our board members help set the direction of our Neighborhood Roots organization and further our mission of bringing neighbors together to buy, eat, and learn about local food. They participate in annual strategic planning, attend regular board meetings, and help at the markets. Specific skills that we’re currently looking for among new board members include backgrounds in fundraising, non-profit finance, and local food policy.

To learn more about current board opportunities and indicate interest in joining, please fill out the form at the link below:

Board recruitment timeline: Accept applications until November 2024 Candidates will be contacted by a current board member to schedule a meet-up or call to learn more and have any questions answered.

Candidates are invited to join a portion of the November or December board meeting and decide if they'd like to put forward their candidacy.

Board votes on candidates and terms begin in January 2025.
