Board Report, November 2017

Communicating with the board

PCC’s Board of Trustees is elected to represent the interests of co-op members. Hearing from members enhances the governance and ongoing betterment of the cooperative for members.

Members may attend the Annual Members’ Business Meeting or communicate with the Board of Trustees by transmitting correspondence by email (board@pccmarkets.com) or post:

PCC Co-op Office

3131 Elliott Avenue, Suite 500

Seattle, WA 98121

A designated PCC staff member will, as he or she deems appropriate, forward communication to our Board of Trustees, to an individual trustee, or committee of our Board of Trustees to whom the communication is directed.

Next board meeting

The Board of Trustees generally meets four times per year. Board committees meet more frequently, with the number of meetings depending on the committee. The next board meeting will be held on December 6, 2017, at the PCC Co-op Office.

Board reports

The board report is moving to an every-other-month feature in the Sound Consumer. Providing important and timely information to the co-op’s members is important to the board, so when there are activities and information pertaining to the board on in-between months, additional reports will be published.
