The Annual Meeting is open to current Alliance members

At the Annual Meeting you will:

• Celebrate all we’ve accomplished together in 2024 and get the scoop on food and farm issues that impact you and your community;
• Look ahead to 2025 and beyond with a preview of our new five year Strategic Plan.

Members will also be asked to cast your vote on:

• Proposed first-ever long term Policy Platform for the Alliance
• Proposed 2025 Food & Farm State Policy Agenda

Membership starts at just $25 annually. Many members choose a $5 monthly sustaining gift.

Cost should not be a barrier to becoming a member; the Alliance Board of Directors provides a fund for a scholarship to cover an annual membership.

You can also participate in two new optional sessions for members who want to deepen their knowledge and skills as an agent of change.

New Member Orientation: 5:30pm  (optional) 

Are you new to the Alliance, or could use a refresher? Join us for a 30 minute orientation at 5:30pm to meet other new members and get the inside scoop on how the Alliance works, how to build power for change, and how you can plug in. 

Post Election Landscape for Food & Farm Issues: 7:30pm  (optional)

This presentation and discussion will be led by Eowyn Corral, Grassroots Co-Director with the National Sustainable Agriculture Coalition.

You’ll get a deep dive into the results of both federal and state elections and how they’ll impact the future of the food and system. What will the results mean for the Farm Bill? What will they mean for state policy? Join us to find out and discuss with other Alliance members.

At Illinois Stewardship Alliance, farmers and eaters unite to form a powerful voice that has a seat at every table where decisions about our food system are made. 

There’s a place for you at the table.

We look forward to building a more just and regenerative food and farm future with you!
