It’s an exciting time for PCC. More and more people want to know about and consume the natural, organic products that we offer in our markets. Continued growth for PCC is on the horizon.
The PCC Board of Trustees plays an instrumental role in deciding the broad, long-term goals of our cooperative. The members of the board are deeply committed to PCC and dedicate significant energy and time to this leadership role.
Each and every PCC member can play a part in the direction of our organization by voting in the annual elections this month.
