FOUNDING PARTNERS
This network would not exist without the dedication and vision of the Founding Partners of the FBEN, who came together in 2006 to establish the Farm-Based Education Association. Since then, Founding Partners have volunteered as Board, Working Group or Advisory Board members of the FBEN. Many hours were spent, many miles covered and plenty of butcher paper was provided to the process of establishing and maintaining this important resource.
All of these individuals are celebrated in their own communities for the work they do and have done in their fields (literally/figuratively). They will also be forever celebrated for their collective contributions to the FBEN. Thank you to these generous and thoughtful professionals! (Listed with their 2006 affiliations.)
