Board of Directors
F.H. King is directed by a nine-member board of UW undergraduate and graduate students. Board members are required to serve one-year terms but encouraged to stay two years. The F.H. King board of directors is nonhierarchical — each director has a significant degree of independence, board members are held accountable by each other, and major decision making is decentralized. Our non-hierarchical structure makes us more flexible and resilient and addresses the problem of turnover, the need for accountability, and the importance of empowerment.
​
All members of the F.H. King Board of Directors share certain responsibilities, including assisting with programming and events, volunteering in the garden, and participating in major events. All Directors must attend weekly board meetings and office hours, as well as quarterly Mission & Vision sessions, and participate in quarterly peer evaluations.

Eren (She/Her)
Eren is a junior studying Environmental Science and Conservation Biology with a certificate in Food Systems. She was born and raised in Milwaukee, which is also where she first encountered urban agriculture on a field trip to Will Allen's "Growing Power" farm. Eren is passionate about making agriculture accessible and fun for all people, no matter where they live and how much space they have. In the future, she hopes to engage with ecology and agriculture through a research or government position. When she's not at the farm, you can find her helping with jumping worm research at the UW Arboretum, or trying recipes from other F.H. King members!
