—by Kjersti Hanneman, HPC Board MemberLike it or not, November is just around the corner. With the changing seasons comes change at the co-op as well. Each year at the Annual Meeting we elect new people to the Board of Directors. This year three positions are open. Board service offers a tremendous opportunity for HPC working members to learn more about the inner workings of the co-op and have input on a variety of things including finance, membership, facilities, and long-range planning decisions. The board typically meets the second Wednesday evening of each month. Committee meetings are held as necessary at the convenience of committee members, typically once a month or once every two months. Look for applications at the cash register. Before you apply, I encourage you to talk to a current board member to learn how you can help effect dynamic change by serving on the HPC Board of Directors. Current board members are Jay Dregni, Karen Gill-Gerbig, Kjersti Hanneman, Naomi Karstad, Gregg Richardson, John Rogers, Lisa Scribner, and Sophie Teyssier (staff representative).
