Introducing Our New US Board Members
Sean Duncan
International Development, Finance and Security Professional 

As someone with family roots in the Philippines and agriculture sector, I was drawn to the mission of GSS and using seed saving as a way to reduce reliance on commercial seeds (as well as preserve culture!). The more I learned about the impact that Sherry and the Team were trying to create, the more I wanted to help out. I can't wait to leverage my background in international development, finance, and strategic planning to help the Team empower local farmers. 
Susan Matthew
Agriculture Researcher and Policy Analyst

I joined the U.S. Board of Global Seed Savers because of the inspiring work they do, side by side with the farmers, despite political and structural oppression. I am excited to facilitate the progression of seed schools and libraries across more communities in more regions. 

I also hope to contribute insightful perspectives on community owned and operated agri-food-seed-nutrition systems.
