    sounds great! Thanks. I have some folks that I work with here in Wisconsin and also some folks from out W/NW that would possibly be interested in this conversation. I’m not sure they are on the CoP list. Is it ok for me to invite them? I can’t remember how/if there is a policy on this. Or should I be encouraging them to register for the Food Systems Leadership Network as a 1st step?

    Hi Andrew, We are working on a multi-state project concept for the upcoming round of Lake Michigan Food System Innovation Hub funding connecting food hubs in IL, WI, IN, and WI.Is it possible to share this call opportunity with the other state leads in our Innovation group? That would be roughly 5 or 6 folks.

    Let me know!

    Thanks, Diane

      Hi Diane,

      Yes I’d be happy for you to invite state leads and anyone in their networks! If you want the language in a different format let me know and I can send you something. – Andrew

        Hi Andrew

        If you could send me an invite to register for the call as a guest (?) with the call description I can forward it to the group.

        Thank you!

        Diane
