The Athens Farmers Market (AFM) Executive Committee (EC) members are elected by the AFM membership during the annual spring meeting, the 2nd Thursday of March. Each community EC member serves a 1 year term, and is expected to attend monthly board meetings, typically at 1 pm on a Wednesday, and participate in additional collaborative and/or independent activities to support the Athens Farmers Market.
EC members enjoy the benefits of contributing to the mission and vision of the organization and gaining professional experience while applying their own unique professional and lived experience in support of the AFM. The AFM EC provides guidance, support, oversight, and evaluation of the AFM. Each EC member brings their own skills, experience, and interests.
The AFM strives to have an EC that helps us deepen our connection with the community we serve, ensuring sustainability and resilience of the AFM. Monthly time commitments may vary according to season and specific interests of each EC member and the needs of the AFM, with a minimum of 2 hours per month.
