2008 SAFSF Forum
Portland, Oregon

RIPE - Real Interdependence, Partnerships and Equity: Setting the Table for Farms, Food and People We know our strongest asset is our network of dedicated grantmakers. The 2008 Forum, as in years’ past, will offer you plenty of opportunities to learn from the place and from each other. We believe in creating a learning environment that enables attendees to jump in – both intellectually in discussion, presentation, and dialogue, as well as physically through a variety of day-long site visits and shorter on-the-move mobile workshops Lodging at the Doubletree Hotel at Lloyd Center Easily accessible by public transit from the airport, train, and bus stations. The Doubletree is the first hotel in Oregon to meet Green Seal’s requirements for sustainable business practices. Rates for SAFSF Forum Attendees Single or double: $114 (standard) or $124 (premium)/night Preliminary program will be available at www.safsf.org in February 2008.
