REQUEST FOR REVIEW AND COMMENTARY

Proposal to Amend HWFC Bylaws to Address Conflicts of Interest and Employee-Directors

While recognizing that the views of employees are valuable to the Board and promote effective
Co-op governance, the Governance Review Council is concerned that special conflicts of interest may arise for such "employee directors," particularly in personnel matters. Therefore, the Governance Review Council has proposed a Bylaws amendment to address this issue and the Bylaws Panel edited and approved the language. The Panel is asking for comments prior to any further action. We will be accepting written comments until October 15. Comments may be sent to the Panel at BLP@honestweight.coop or left in an envelope addressed to the Bylaws Panel at the Service Desk in the store. THIS IS NOT BEING OFFERED FOR A VOTE AT THIS TIME.

Copies of the proposal may be picked up at the member check-in computer.

You can now contact the HWFC Board of Directors by email at
board@honestweight.coop
