We are so thankful to have an impactful and close-knit policy team that plans change-making goals together. At the beginning of December, Policy Director Milo Petruziello, Grassroots Policy Organizers Lauren Hirtle and Nicole Wolcott, and Communications and Media Specialist Heather Seely got together to debrief 2023 and plan for 2024.

The priorities we talked through included:

• Building our interpersonal relationships;
• Furthering our state policy and soil health work;
• Advocating on the farm bill and federal policy;
• Strengthening impactful connections with our member leaders; and
• Leaning into the OEFFA Narrative in all the work we do.
