A Director's Chairby Duke Bouchard (Board member) and Mel Dragon (staff)
Did you know that the Coop has a Communications committee? Probably
not, as it has been defunct for nearly five years! Well it's time for a
comeback because communicating as a growing community is crucial to the
future success of the Coop. In the past the main focus of the committee has been to facilitate the
production and layout of the Coop Scoop. However, our current task at hand
is wide open, as our duty is to improve communications between the Board
and the membership, and from the inner workings of the store to the
greater community. Imagine being able to find out about an upcoming cooking class that you
might want to take, while at the same time being able to check out the hot
topics at the last Board meeting. You could find out whom to contact about
an agenda item you'd like to see addressed, or read about upcoming
meetings. The possibilities are limitless! From bulletin boards and the Coop Scoop to the Coop web site (www.hwfc.com), all venues of communication
are up for critique and restructuring. When reviewing existing
communications formats we will determine effectiveness with the following
in mind: timeliness, accessibility and consistency. By the time this issue is out, the first Communications committee
meeting will have taken place-but it's not too late to get involved. We
are actively seeking members and participation. We are currently meeting
the second Wednesday of the month at 6:30 in the community room. You can
contact committee liaison Duke Bouchard at alfred@hwfc.com, at 482-2667(ext. 103),
or ask for Mel at the front end. Member hours are granted for all
committee work! |
