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 postal mail:

PCC Co-op Office

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.
