ICF 2020 Board Election Results and Annual Meeting Video

Those who missed out on our 11/10/2020 annual meeting can view the video of it on our website here. Watch the annual slideshow, hear about the work of the ICF Board, and listen as we answer member questions.

Intervale Community Farm is excited to welcome Emily Portman as our newest Intervale Community Farm Cooperative board member.  Following our 2020 electoral period, Emily was elected to a 3-year term, beginning January 2021.  Incumbent board members Bonnie Acker and Christopher McCandless were also re-elected.  Emily says:

“Hello! My name is Emily Portman. I've lived here in Burlington for just over 6 years and have been an ICF CSA member for the last 5 years….My main hope in [serving on the] board is to be able to give back to this amazing community through member engagement, helping with events, and partnership development with other food and ag organizations. I've worked in many different roles within the food system and would love to contribute any perspective or knowledge that could be useful in furthering ICF's mission.
Additionally, this last year I've been working towards starting a breakfast and lunch cafe in the Old North End in the former Chubby Muffin. The cafe shares space with a few other food businesses and, more broadly, is housed within a cooperatively owned building. One major appeal in board participation for me is the opportunity to learn more about other coop organizational structures, share our experience, and understand potential ways to collaborate with other coops.”

 ICF bids farewell with much appreciation to longtime board member Kara Buchanan. Intervale Community Farm has benefitted greatly from Kara’s hard work and good thinking over the years, and we will miss Kara’s contribution to the Board. We hope we will still seed Kara in the herb garden and flower gardens, and joining us for (we hope) ICF Pizza Nights.
