NESAWG’s annual It Takes a Region Conference brings together farm and food systems practitioners across the 12-state Northeast region to learn, debate, collaborate, and innovate solutions to critical food systems issues. Each year, they look at the trajectory of the food and farm movement and the role our network can play in shaping its future. They offer in-depth working sessions that tackle important questions about our regional food system and how to strengthen it, drawing from the collective expertise and wisdom of conference attendees.

Help them get the word out! Share this event with your networks, and check out their outreach toolkit for sample emails and social media messages.

Be a Zoom Point Person and Get Free Registration!
They are looking for folks to be zoom point people for each of their sessions. Your job will be to support presenters in handling any functions related to Zoom, and connecting with NESAWG staff if any issues arise. You must be available 15 minutes before and during each of the five session blocks, and you must attend an hour training session the first week of November. In exchange you will get free registration to the conference. It’s helpful if you are familiar with Zoom, but it’s not hard to learn.
