Associate Board Position Description
Joining the Slow Food Denver Associate Board is an extraordinary opportunity for a community member who is excited about being more engaged in and affecting change in their local food system. A Slow Food Denver Associate Board Member position is a wonderful way to learn more about Slow Food Denver, and experience a Board role, without the responsibilities of being on the Board of Directors.

The Associate Board position is a 12-month commitment for Slow Food USA Members. Participation throughout the 12-months will include attending one Board of Directors meeting and the Annual Planning Retreat, campaigning for Slow Food Denver for Colorado Gives Day, connecting with a Board of Directors member on an individual basis, and one or both of the following: attending at least two volunteer events as a Slow Food Ambassador and/or joining a Board of Directors subcommittee.
In addition, Associate Board members are encouraged to attend all Board of Directors meetings, other Slow Food Denver social and volunteer functions and the Summer Slow Down annual fall fundraiser.
