Alaska Food Coalition Whitepapers
What Are Whitepapers?
In a response to requests from membership for more educational information, each month, the Alaska Food Coalition will distribute a Whitepaper. In the technology industry, whitepapers are short sales pitches for a product or solution. They give the customer just enough information to get them intrigued and then a salesman comes in and gives more detail. For our purposes, the whitepapers are going to give a brief overview of a nonprofit topic and direct members where they can get more information. Because we have such a large spectrum of organizations, not every paper is going to be relevant to every organization, but we hope to cover a wide variety of topics that will address a range of topics that can be useful for most.
Please take a minute to look at our issues. If you have any questions or know of a topic that you think would be beneficial to discuss with the entire membership, please contact the coalition manager.
