[Busriders-van] EEFC AGM

[Ron Stewart]

            I'm passing along the East End Food Co-op AGM notice in the hope of finding at least 2 new recruits for the BoD at our AGM  this April 14, WISE Hall, 7:15 PM
            What's different about EEFC is that it employs people (at present 15) in a co-op enterprise in the grocery industry. Not only do we provide as much full time employment and fair wages (through the CAW union contract), we seek other extensions of co-op principles through the Board of Directors and our community contacts.
            Finding candidates to support this direction is the challenge, since by-the-book business weeds out initiatives not directly tied to the profits.
            This BoD best suits people who are looking for a range of experience. We do pay directors ($25 per meeting) for attendance. One BoD meeting a month (and if we maintain our sensible approach) takes about 2.5 hours. Term is two years.
            This year, we renegotiate the staff collective agreement.
            Committees might draw more interest, because the commitment is flexible and the material is more adventurous : GMO, finances and internet. Visit our website under wrappers : www.east-end-food.coop.
            If you know anyone, either pass along this notice or my name and number. If you can, send back any suggestions.
            Also, we have our meetings chaired by Don King, a third party facilitator with great capabilities.

All the best, 

Ron Stewart
