12:45pm: Registration and Welcome
Jill Clark, Glenn College, OSU
 
1:00pm: Policy vs. Programming
Amalie Lipstreu, Ohio Ecological Food and Farm Association
What are the differences between policy and programming and how local food councils can identify policy needs? 

1:15pm: Using the Food Policy Audit
Jill Clark, Glenn College, OSU
The Food Policy Audit will be introduced as a way to frame policy and programming needs and as a tool for coalition-building.

1:30pm: Equitable Community Engagement and Decision-Making for More Effective Food Policy
Kip Holley, Kirwan Institute, OSU
This workshop will uncover some of the challenges to inclusive community engagement in our increasingly diverse communities and learn how to work from principles of equitable engagement to create conditions for every voice to be heard when making community decisions.

2:30pm: Strengthening Food Policy Work in Ohio
Noreen Warnock, Local Matters
Strength in numbers? Local food councils working together can create more change than the individual groups working policy work, successes from other states who developed statewide alone. This session will cover the history of Ohio's statewide food structures, and consider how one structure - a coalition with shared values and purpose - can support local, regional and statewide food policy efforts. 

3:15-3:45pm: Networking
