Board meeting reports

September 30 report

At its September 30 meeting, the board did follow up work to the August retreat, with a focus on planning the strategic discussion calendar for the year. There also was a discussion on how the board could get more involved in the board candidate recruiting process.

The board also discussed the recruiting and nominating process that produces candidates for board election. The nominating committee reported that it will screen the applications submitted by the November 4 deadline and will begin interviews in early December.

Plans for the October 28 member meeting were reviewed. We’ll report on this member meeting in the December issue and on the Web site by November 12. The reports will include photos.

Upcoming Talk to the Board opportunities

The board members have decided to continue their monthly member outreach. Kelly Horton, member relations committee chair, observes, “This program gives the trustees a chance to meet members, staff and shoppers in a comfortable, informal setting. The practice of posting a question for each visit helps us get feedback from members on a topic of ongoing board discussion.”

In the first Talk to the Board event at the new Edmonds store, trustee Buzz Hofford (l) met members, shoppers and staff, including cashier Shawn Holifield.

Also visiting Edmonds PCC was trustee Julianne Lamsek, shown here talking with a shopper.

Over the next two visits, we’ll ask members:

Share why you think social responsibility is an important value for our co-op? What does it mean to you?

This also is the question discussed at the fall member meeting during dinner. Would you like to weigh in on this question? Please stop by one of these store visits or e-mail us directly at You also may write us at the co-op office on this or any topic.
