CGF
welcomes the arrival of Liz Snyder as our Interim Executive Director. We hit
the jackpot!
Says
Liz, “For 50 years, Committee for Green
Foothills has worked to preserve our foothills, mountains, farms, forests, and
coasts. When I think of those 50 years of hard-won victories, I feel a debt of
gratitude to all of the staff, Board members, advocates, and supporters that
have come through these doors. Without them, much of the natural beauty of the
Bay Area would be a thing of the past. I am incredibly excited to be joining
the CGF team, and am honored to have the chance to contribute to such important
work."

| Liz Snyder, CGF Interim Executive Director |
Liz
is a food activist, anthropologist, and author. She has a master’s degree in
nutritional anthropology from Oxford University, where she studied the complex
interrelationships between the food marketing industry, nutrition education
efforts in our schools, and their profound and unexpected effects on our
relationship with food. Liz is the founder of Full Circle Farm, an educational,
organic farm on school land that connects the district’s 14,000 children
directly to the source of their food.
As
a founding member of the Bay Area Children in Nature Collaborative, Liz is also
working to engage schools and parents in increasing kids’ access to healthy,
outdoor environments.
Liz’s
most recent endeavor is Little Bee Pops—bringing healthy, sustainable summer
treats to parks and Farmers' Markets in Silicon Valley. Liz will be with us
until May 2013 (when the Little Bee Pops season kicks in again) while we search
for a permanent ED.
