Biodynamic Demeter Alliance Board of Directors

The Alliance Board of Directors is the fiduciary board for the unified organization. It consists of 9-15 members, with 3 representatives suggested by each of the Advisory Boards for the 3 spheres that make up the Alliance (Cultural, Demeter, and Economic). An additional 6 members will be appointed by the Board to bring in specific skills and enhance diversity, equity, and inclusion. 

Initial Alliance Board members were approved on January 24, 2022. The position of President will be filled in coming months as Board members become familiar with each other and with the work of the Alliance.

The Alliance is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization and would not exist today without financial support from the Biodynamic Capital Collaborative Fund of RSF Social Finance and other donors.
