currently two Board Director positions vacant, to be decided by a vote at the 2017 Co-op AGM on Saturday 21 October. Full financial members as at 6 October are eligible to vote. The nominees are Rachel Hall, Deb Hurley and Narelle Wilson. Read about them below.
I have been a Co-op member for many years now. I enjoy cooking and sharing food with friends and family so being able to access a variety of fresh, organic produce is a big thing for me. I shop at the Co-op weekly with my children.
Aside from being passionate about food and trying to live sustainably, I am a homeschooling parent who has been actively volunteering in our homeschool community for at least 6 years. I have worked collaboratively with other parents to organise weekly workshops for our children, to put on creative and performing arts nights, and to organise events that celebrate and engage our homeschooling community. I truly LOVE working as part of a team. Community is something I value greatly.
I have tertiary qualifications as a High School Visual Arts Teacher, a Teacher Librarian and a Breastfeeding Educator. I have worked in a variety of schools and as a volunteer with The Australian Breasting Association as Group Leader for the Lower Blue Mountains Group.
I am a passionate advocate for family and community, and care deeply about sustainability and the future of food production. Appointment as Director of the Co-op would allow me to make a significant contribution to these things so close to my heart, as well as deepening my connection to the place that my family’s food comes from. It will also provide an opportunity for me to use my skills on meaningful activities that support our Blue Mountains community and promote sustainable, community focused living.
