Eat Local Sudbury Cooperative is looking for a Membership Development Coordinator, to research and develop policies and opportunities for our cooperative membership to engage with Eat Local as a whole.
Through communications, events, volunteerism, a new member manual and increased membership, the Membership Development Coordinator will increase Eat Local presence in Sudbury and our members involvement in the capacity building of the local food system through participation and cooperation.
The benefits associated with this position are increased capacity for the cooperative. An engaged membership will mean that the cooperative will grow, increasing the economic benefits to producers in the region. The more local food we sell means an increase in environmental benefits as the food has a much smaller carbon footprint. Building the membership of the cooperative increases the social fabric of the community as a whole.
