Board outreach
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.”
