Board meeting reports

June 24 report

The 2007-2008 trustees met for their final session. The committee and task force chairs presented progress reports. Bob Cross and Linnea Noreen ended their board terms. Cross completed nine years on the board and was twice chosen to serve as board chair. Noreen served a three-year term. Each was presented a gift on behalf of the membership to thank them for their service.

The 2008-2009 board was officially seated with newly elected trustees Carol Binder and Julianne Lamsek joining the board. Buzz Hofford was elected to a full term after having been appointed to serve the last year of a trustee who resigned.

Stephen Tan was elected to serve as chair. Tan is in his third year of board service. A partner at Cascadia Law Group, a Seattle-based firm practicing environmental and natural resources law, Tan specializes in environmental litigation.

The board members elected one of their fellow trustees, Kelly Horton, to serve on the 2008-2009 nominating committee. Horton will join the committee that was elected by the membership in the 2008 election — Diana Crane, Janet Hietter, Don Nordness and Mary Simon.

July 29 report

The board heard a report from counsel on their fiduciary responsibilities, established this year’s committees, approved the plans for this fall’s member meeting and did more work in preparation for an August strategic retreat.

September 30 report

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 heard an update on plans for the October 28 fall member meeting.

Talk to the board events are opportunities for our trustees to meet members and store staff. At a recent visit to our new Edmonds store, bakery manager Cortney Bowers-McCoy (l) took trustee Julie Tempest on a tour of the baking operation.
