Join the October Conference Call!
The January Conference Call is right around the corner!

This Wednesday, January 13th at 8:00pm Eastern/5:00pm Pacific will be the next Monthly National Organizers’ Conference Call. The call is a great opportunity to add more tools to your organizing repertoire and receive critical updates and information on the newest ideas for Fair Trade Towns USA campaigns.

Call in Number: 605-475-6333

Participant Code: 884663#

Please make every effort to join the call. New organizers, interested parties, and established Fair Trade Towns are all encouraged to join in. We will be sharing our experiences from Fair Trade Month, which was one of the most successful FT Months to date, as well as discuss ways to maintain momentum through the holiday season. We will also be hearing from a guest speaker from a national sustainability network on ways that we may be able to network and help each others’ campaigns.

Join us on Wednesday to learn about these great opportunities and to connect with all of our fellow organizers!

You must log in to join the discussion. If you are not already a member registering is easy.

Courtney Lang, National Organizer | Fair Trade Campaigns

Courtney Lang brings over 5 years of community organizing to Fair Trade Towns USA, building both the Local Food and Fair Trade networks in Vermont. As Local Food Coordinator with City Market/Onion River Cooperative, Courtney worked with local producers, institutions and consumers to grow the local food system and organize a strategic model for community engagement through farm tours, workshops, and local food challenges. Like many in the Fair Trade industry, Courtney was inspired to take action in Fair Trade when she witnessed child-labor first hand in Costa Rica. As a founding member of Fair Trade Burlington, she has worked with economic development organizations, businesses, and consumers to build awareness of Fair Trade among Vermonters. She also worked with a Fair Trade USA licensee, Vermont Coffee Company, as Friend Ambassador where she united the story of Fair Trade to every purchase of coffee.
