Board outreach

board members

Talk to the Board events are an important element of the board's ongoing outreach efforts. Usually scheduled around high-traffic events in our stores, they are informal opportunities for our trustees to meet some of our stakeholders. "We try to learn as much as possible about what PCC means to our members, store staff and vendors," notes trustee Maggie Lucas, "which helps the board in its policy-making role."

Member Relations Committee chair, John Sheller notes, “PCC’s commitment to our members is one of the major differences between our co-op and for-profit stores. The board is elected by our membership, and we place a high value on interacting with members one-on-one in stores and at our member meetings.

"Please watch for Talk to the Board events at your store, and do come out to the meetings. We want to hear your thoughts.”

Next board meeting

The next board meeting is January 31 at 5 p.m. at the co-op office. Members are welcome at all public portions of the meeting and member comment period is at 7 p.m. Member comments are limited to three minutes unless a longer presentation is approved by the board chair prior to the meeting.
