Please congratulate and welcome the most recent Co-op Members elected to the Board of Directors. On October 25, 2009, ballots were tallied under the watchful supervision of Board Members Susan Munkres and Nancy Nesbitt.

Patrick Brown - Patrick brings to his first term on the Board a set of skills and experience from many years of service on boards and community involvement. Patrick promises to bring to the Co-op Board, “representation from a di­verse perspective of an ever grow­ing multicultural community." Welcome aboard Patrick!

Maura Finn - This is Maura’s first time on the Co-op Board but is no newcomer to the Co-op. Maura has been a Co-op member for almost 30 years. Maura has been a registered nurse for 18 years and also is a local food advocate who grows her own vegetables, eggs and chicken. Welcome Maura!
