DNATL CFC Steering Committee
We value our community’s voices and collaboration. In 2025, we launched a new Steering Committee to help guide the work of the Community Food Council.
This diverse group provides valuable feedback to DNATL CFC staff, ensuring our programs and initiatives align with the needs of our community. Steering Committee members also act as key connectors, sharing information about CFC programs, projects, events, and workshops within their networks. Their insight helps us better understand and address the diverse needs of Del Norte and Tribal Lands.
