[Massplanners] Agricultural Commission Staffing and Best Practices Study Questions

[Tyler Godin]

Hello everyone, my name is Tyler Godin. I am a regional planner at the Montachusett Regional Planning Commission (MRPC) and the MRPC is currently working on a Staffing and Best Practices Study for the Town of Harvard's Agricultural Advisory Commission. One of the major issues the Harvard AgCom is facing is finding personnel or other forms of staffing or volunteer assistance to help accomplish their ambitious goals. They are eager to learn how other AgComs find personnel or help. They're also interested in grants/funding sources that can support their AgCom and agricultural community, regionalization opportunities and any best practices for AgComs.

If anyone has any information on the following please let me know

  *   AgCom volunteer/staff recruitment
  *   Funding/grants to support AgCom staff. This can be state, federal, or private/non-profit.
  *   Regionalization opportunities
  *   Seed funding for agricultural organizations
  *   Best practices for AgComs

Please feel free to forward this to anyone else who may not be on this listserv that you think could help in some way.

Thank you
