PAC Members Episodes

About the Pod Advisory Committee
Formed in 2021, the PPC Pod Advisory Committee (PAC) is a panel of ten dynamic Pod leaders in the PPC Pod Network who represent more than 14,000 Pod members from around the globe. Members of the PAC were chosen based on the success and growth of their Pods, their unique perspectives, skills, and dedication to PPC’s vision, and their innovation regarding community engagement in whole food, plant-based initiatives, and programming.

Members of the PAC represent five countries, and, as Pod leaders, are integral to the plant-based grassroots movement, having an invaluable first-hand experience which can ignite, transform, and enrich PPC’s endeavors to create vibrant global change. PAC members have the unique opportunity to take on a more impactful role within the Pod Network, share what has worked in their communities, network with other Pod Leaders, consider PPC’s outreach strategies, suggest new initiatives, and create greater change in the global whole food, plant-based movement. Read their bios below!

The Pod Advisory Committee envisions a vibrant Pod Network that: IGNITES creative leadership in communities across the globe; WEAVES together leaders’ diverse strengths, skills, and expertise for collective benefit; TRANSFORMS leaders’ ability to catalyze a societal shift in the health of people and the planet. The time is now!
