Staff & Board of Directors
Gaining Ground is managed by an active Board of Directors whose members represent diverse backgrounds in the arts, business, law, education, human services, public relations, and community activism.
Currently, Gaining Ground has four year-round employees — a farm manager and an assistant farm manager, who direct our farm operations and work directly with volunteers; an executive director, who directs the organization and coordinates fundraising; and a program manager, who supports our volunteer program, recipient program, and community outreach. A market manager and three field crew members work seasonally.
