The
HWFC Board of Directors met on Tuesday, May 6.
|
| Board Officers |
This was the first meeting
after the election of new Board members. Board officers for the coming
year will be: President – Jim Monsonis; Vice-President – Greg Pedrick;
Treasurer – John Godfrey; Secretary – Lorrie Graham.
|
Board Terms
|
Five new Board members were
elected. Three will serve full 3-year terms and two will serve 1-year
terms. John Godfrey, Greg Pedrick and Lorrie Graham will serve the
3-year terms; Ted Mousseau and Bruce Huttner will fill the 1-year
terms.
|
| Committees and Liaisons |
As is customary after Board
elections, directors reviewed the Co-op committees and their current
activities.
Board liaisons to committees will be as follows: Bylaws – Carolyn
Maroney; Personnel – Ray Ratte; Finance – John Godfrey; Nutrition and
Education – Ted Mousseau; Membership – Lenore Gensburg.
Several committees and liaison assignments will be discussed at the
next Board meeting.
|
| Facilities |
| A report on plans for the
new store was presented. A fuller presentation was planned at a joint
meeting of the Board and the Collective Management Team (CMT) later in
May. The Board was to meet after that meeting and take a vote on this
plan, which was to be formally presented at the June 1st membership
meeting. |
| Staff-Board Meetings |
| It was suggested that there
be presentations at upcoming Board-CMT meetings to give new Board
members a better idea of the duties of each member of the team. |
| Membership |
| An ad-hoc committee will be
established to explore and make recommendations on the issue of
orientation for shareholders (that is, for people who purchase a share,
but do not become working members). Possibilities that have been
mentioned include an on-line orientation or a DVD. |
| Minutes |
| Minutes of all meetings are
available at the Co-op. Minutes of the most recent meeting are posted
on the bulletin board. They are also available on the Co-op’s website
as password protected files. See instructions on the website on
obtaining a password on the Board
Meetings page. |
| Upcoming Meetings |
The next Board meetings
have been set for June 3 and July 1. While the Board has not set a
schedule for the coming year, at present it expects to retain the
current meeting time: the first Tuesday of each month at 5:30 pm, in
the Co-op’s Community Room (with some exceptions, depending on
holidays, etc.). Dates will be posted on the HWFC website. Anyone
planning to attend a Board meeting should confirm date, time and
location.
