Chair: Roger McErlane
Secretary/Treasurer: Steve Widmeyer
Events Committee Chair: Chef Thomas Ryan
The Events committee role within Slow Food Orange County is to create events for both members and the broad-public that speak specifically to Slow Food's ideal of "taste education." We also strive to raise funds for Slow Food charities and membership activities. Lastly, events create a community presence for Slow Food Orange County.
Social Action Committee
The Social Action committee tracks issues of political and social significance to Slow Food members and acts as the primary liaison to non-profit partners. The committee continues to work with Hart Community Homes, which runs a foster home for teenage boys and provides employment opportunities through the associated Monkey Business Café.
Outreach Committee Chair: Heather Stoltzfus
The Outreach committee's purpose is to inform the general public about the Slow Food movement and the the activities of the Orange County convivium. The committee is also the liaison for farmers and chefs who subscribe to the Slow Food philosophy.
Membership Committee
The Membership committee ensures that the broad membership remains engaged and informed about Slow Food related events and news through regular e-mail announcements and monthly newsletters. The committee answers questions and issues pertaining to membership benefits, sign-up and renewal, and acts as the liaison to the national USA Slow Food governing body.
