The Colorado Blueprint to End Hunger continues to transition to its new organizational framework and structure. Dolores Ramirez, our Executive Director of Vision, shares updates about the Blueprint’s transformation in a new video message.
Here’s an overview of what she covers:
- Our new mission statement — build a movement for more responsive, equitable, and sustainable food systems by shifting power to our Colorado communities.
- Our new core values — be bold, own our actions, stay curious, respect one another, and work together
- When we’ll introduce new committees, including the Community Council and Communications & Accessibility Committee — both beginning this October, with more information to come in the next few weeks
- Changes to other existing spaces like the quarterly food access updates meetings with state agencies — transforming into the bi-monthly Colorado Food Systems Roundtable, with the next meeting on Tuesday, September 24
- Other transitions like:
- Converting the Microfuding project team to the new Grant Review Committee next month
- Sunsetting the Governing Council and recruiting for our new Advisory Board (with applications due Friday, August 30)
- And what to expect when joining our spaces going forward — like required orientations before officially participating in any of our committees and/or projects
