Slow Leadership in Fast Times

October 29-30, 2011  11 a.m. to 6 p.m.

The purpose of this conference is for Slow Food leaders, members and friends to have a setting where we can learn from, talk with, share ideas with and support the efforts of the individuals on both panels---people who are innovators and leaders  in food policy and school gardens/child nutrition. Those 2 topics are the most discussed in any Slow Food leaders gathering with food justice close behind (but that will be well covered at the Community Food Summit in Miami-Sept. 29-Oct. 4)

Cost: $15 per person

Slow Leadership in Fast Times is a two day, bi-annual eeting for Slow Food leaders from across Florida. The event will take place on Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 29th and 30th and is hosted by Slow Food Glades to Coast chapter from 11am to 6pm.
