OEFFA Board
The OEFFA Board helps shape the vision of the organization, sharing their unique perspective, knowledge, and skills in support of organic and sustainable farming.
If you’re interested in joining the OEFFA Board, you’re expected to attend quarterly meetings, participate in at least one Board-staff committee, and contribute at least six hours to Board work each month. New members are considered on a rolling, quarterly basis with new members conditionally voted in at a Board meeting and later voted on for a full 3-year term at the annual OEFFA Members’ Meeting. Half of all OEFFA Board members must be farmers.
Once you complete the form below, the Board Governance Committee will review it and contact you. If you want a paper application, contact oeffa@oeffa.org.
