Food Producers Forum
seeks Executive Director


Food Producers Forum is a five-year old provincial non-profit society supporting food security, local food distribution and food justice in Newfoundland and Labrador. We have launched more than a dozen community-based projects, to address the need for healthy, local food. Led by a multi-cultural, gender-balanced board of directors, with a four-member executive, we have been supporting practical solutions and developing operating policies based on dialogue, inclusion and respect.

To help us keep our day-to-day operations running and oversee our activities, we are ready to hire an Executive Director. This position will require vision and a deep understanding of the culture and history of our province, along with excellent organizational and communication skills and sensitivity to local issues. We prefer an individual with academic training in a related field, such as environmental studies, economics or agriculture but are mainly looking for a person with practical understanding of core issues related to food production and community health.

The Executive Director will supervise projects, develop new initiatives, work with selected project teams and will undertake budgetary management and fundraising as required to maintain our work. All work related to budget and ongoing expenses will be handled jointly with the Chair and Treasurer. The position will be reviewed bi-annually.
