What is a Community Representative?

In order to fully represent the entire state of Connecticut  and to ensure every community has a voice in Slow Food Shoreline’s activities, we rely on Community Representatives (CRs).

CRs also interact with leadership on an ad hoc basis the entire year, giving advice and assisting with local activities.
