About our meetings

PCC holds two member meetings each calendar year in the spring and fall. These meetings give our members a chance to share a meal and some conversation with several hundred like-minded PCC members.

We are required by Washington state law to have an annual member meeting, which we hold each spring. The annual meeting is traditionally the beginning of the annual board election. Our board candidates are introduced at the meeting and we hear from our CEO and board chair who give us reports on the state of our co-op. For the better part of the past decade, we’ve also hosted a fall meeting for members, typically held in late October.

Each meeting features a delicious buffet of local, seasonal, organic and natural items prepared by a special team of PCC chefs. Our dinner tables are hosted by members of the board and PCC management staff who can answer questions about operations.

Additionally, all our meetings always offer updates on PCC operations, as well as timely information on topics of interest to our membership. Over the past several years, we’ve heard from experts in a range of areas from organic farming to the future of the organic retail industry to food security.

The 2011 annual meeting was held on Tuesday, April 26 and the 2011 fall meeting was held on Tuesday, October 25.
