The Team

Slow Food is a grassroots movement.

 

Our leadership structure starts at the roots, with chapter and community leaders. Each local entity has a board, volunteers and programming that fits with that particular community, all under the framework of good, clean and fair food for all. National working groups tie Slow Food advocates interested in specific topics together with focused goals and calls to action.

National Office

The National Office supports the health and growth of the Slow Food network and serves as a national anchor and organizer for the global Slow Food movement. This all-remote team cultivates nationwide programs and a network of local chapters, hosts educational events and advocacy campaigns, and builds solidarity through partnerships.

Regional councilors also help coordinate regional and state activities. Some regional councilors may have specific programmatic or thematic representations on the regional and/or national level.
