Governance

Our Co-op helps us support local growers and producers; we also work hard to make high quality food accessible to everyone in our community through member sales, discount programs and supporting local groups working on food insecurity. I'd like to help the Co-op build on our successes, continue to learn from our many talented members and staff, and to heal from divisions.

I joined the Co-op in 1995 and it immediately became an integral part of my life. As a dedicated Hunger Mountain Co-op and farmers’ market shopper and advocate for local food, I admire the ingenuity, hard work and perseverance of farmers, growers and retailers and appreciate deeply the daily challenges they address to put food on our tables.

A life-long Vermonter, I was raised and reside in Plainfield. I will listen to Hunger Mountain Co-op members and workers, to know their vision, needs, concerns, and goals. Additionally, it is important to continue focusing on carbon footprint reduction, greater sustainability, and greater dynamism and diversity in how the co-op serves the community.

As a longtime Vermonter and Hunger Mountain Co-op member, I value strong local food systems, environmental sustainability, and a welcoming, equitable community hub. I bring deep financial and organizational leadership experience to support the Co-op’s mission, strengthen resilience, and help it thrive for members, staff, and future generations.

As a member and employee of our Co-op for the last 25 years I am excited to take my involvement further as a member of the council to work on the challenges that lie ahead, especially in the areas of affordability and accessibility.

My top priority is to facilitate local, organic food production and to educate members, customers, and the community at large about the importance and urgency of these things. A related challenge is to re-vision our lifestyle and convenience choices in a more sustainable, less environmentally destructive way. I aim to lead in a way that is collaborative, inclusive and creates a stable community.

I’ve always been an activist for social and environmental justice and I’ve always been inspired by the vision of cooperatives. As a working class member who relies on hypoallergenic food options only the Co-op offers, I was encouraged by union workers and other members to champion an activist run for council to ensure that the democratic cooperative vision is carried out.

As a lifelong organic gardener, a therapist and health counselor, a faculty member at Goddard College for 23 years where I started the BA in Sustainability Program, chaired the Sustainability Committee, and offered courses in Climate Change, and a Co-op member since 1989, I am grateful to bring my experiences supporting health and well-being to the Co-op Council.

I would like to help the Co-op succeed in the years ahead. This may take the form of assisting with flood resiliency, energy efficiency, sustainability, space planning, among other issues.
