Membership & Leadership
Slow Food Portland is an all volunteer organization made up of foodies, chefs, farmers, food professionals & amateurs. There are no local membership dues. Members join the national organization, and in doing so, automatically become part of the local convivium. We welcome all with interest, regardless of membership in Slow Food USA, to our informal potlucks, educational tastings, book discussion group, and seasonal events.
We have a volunteer leadership structure made up of several committee leaders and a steering committee of 10-12 members.
Convivium Leader: Don Lindgren
Programming Committee: Leslie Oster & Justine Roths
Communications Committee: Margaret Hathaway, Samantha Lindgren & Karl Schatz
Treasurer: Richard Rudolph
