Hi!
See this message below from Community Food Navigator:
The USDA's Farm Service Agency is establishing a new office in Cook County. Farmers and growers in Cook County are eligible to be nominated as committee members and voters in upcoming FSA committee elections. This is a drop in clinic to connect you to FSA representatives to support filling out your paperwork. Growers are welcome to join at anytime between 11 and 1pm!
If you need support completing the necessary paperwork to be nominated as a Committee Member (by December 2, 2022), be an FSA registered farm, FSA customer, and/or voter - please join next THURSDAY’s (November 17) virtual support session from 11a - 1pCT. You can drop in at any point during that time and receive support from an FSA representative. All completed forms can be submitted via email (shannon.Mur...@usda.gov), by mail, or dropped off at the New Lenox, IL office.

County committee members are an important component of the operations of FSA and provide a link between the agricultural community and USDA. Farmers and ranchers elected to county committees help deliver FSA programs at the local level, applying their knowledge and judgment to make decisions.
