Elected by our members, our directors help to set the strategic direction of the organisation, review and monitor its work and activities, and support our staff in meeting its mission and vision. Board members play a key role in bringing their own experience from a variety of backgrounds and sectors to inform strategy and to act as ambassadors and facilitators for the organisation.

Apart from attending monthly meetings, directors provide oversight to the projects GCFN are engaged in, help organise and attend quarterly networking events that bring together our members under a changing theme, and sit on working groups that cover all aspects of our operations, from finance, HR and governance, to communications & membership and funding & opportunity development.

Board members are also invited to participate in the working groups of the Glasgow City Food Plan, of which we are a key stakeholder, as well as in any projects happening in the city that share our aims of working together to build a healthier, more sustainable food system for everyone. While the call is open to everyone with a passion for food and making a difference in your community, we particularly welcome applications from individuals with experience in HR, comms and funding/social enterprise development.
