PCC Board of Trustees
Find out about our board of
trustees
and what they do.
To our loyal members
From time to time, the PCC board proposes revisions to our articles and bylaws to address new situations or problems as they are identified. Revisions to our bylaws are subject to approval by the membership and require a two-thirds majority of voting members. Members last approved a comprehensive overhaul of the articles and bylaws in 2005.
This year, the PCC Board of Trustees is seeking approval of three amendments to the PCC bylaws. One relates to establishing term limits for nominating committee service. Another would clarify the process for filling board vacancies. The third would change the way member point-of-sale information may be used.
Our reasons for proposing these changes are outlined on page 2 of the [printed] election insert (or found here on our Web site). The entire text of the bylaws as they would read if the changes are adopted also is included in the insert.
We believe these changes would strengthen the bylaws and serve the membership well. We strongly urge you to approve them by voting YES on your ballot. Should you have any questions, please contact us at
In cooperation,
— Your board of trustees
PCC 2008 Annual Election
Vote in stores and by mail April 29 to May 23
» View 2008 election materials including candidate videos
Meet the candidates virtually and in person
Again this year, you’ll be able not only to read about our candidates, but see and hear them talk about why they’re running.
This year’s ballot will present candidates for the board and nominating committee, as well as a board proposal to update PCC’s bylaws (please see “To our loyal members” on this page).
Our Web site features brief video interviews with each candidate. Plus, there will be four candidate forums (scheduled for the week of May 5) — two on the east side and two on the west side — to allow members to plan ahead for the opportunity to talk one-on-one with our board candidates.
As promised, we posted this information early, on March 26, to give members more time to think about who should get their votes. The videos will remain posted throughout the election
Candidates for the Board of Trustees
