Board Election 2013

Dear Co-op members,

You can help shape the Ypsilanti Food Co-op's future! If you're a member of the Co-op who's not an employee, and are passionate about our store, its membership, and YFC's success in a challenging business environment, please consider running for the Ypsi Food Co-op’s Board of Directors.

The health of our Co-op depends on a committed, knowledgeable Board. Serving on the Board is one of the greatest contributions you can make to your Co-op and, by extension, to our community. This year, there are three Board seats open.

New directors are elected by Co-op member/owners at the General Membership Meeting at 5:30 pm on Thursday, May 23 at the Ladies Literary Club. Prospective directors will be encouraged to join current directors at CBLD 101, a day-long Board Leadership Conference on Saturday May 18 in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan.

If you're interested, download a brochure about running for the Board, or pick one up in the store. Take at look at the job description, and fill out the application. Get in touch with Board members Jeff Clark (jc@quemadura.net), Paul Fisher (pfisher@pfisher.com),
Liz Dahl MacGregor (lizdmg@gmail.com), or David Choberka (davidchoberka@gmail.com) for more information. (Any board member will be happy to talk to you about serving, but Jeff, Liz, Paul, and David are the official nominating committee.)

I hope to see you in the store and at the General Membership Meeting in May.

Sincerely yours,

Jeff Clark, Secretary
Ypsilanti Food Co-op
Board of Directors
