Congratulations to the Community Food Co-op’s Co-op Cooperator of the Year—the entire Co-op staff!
When it came time to select the Co-op Cooperator award the Member Affairs Committee was faced with a daunting task—how to possibly choose from among the many accolades for individual Co-op staff and contributors. Then, the obvious answer presented itself.
Who worked hard through the many transitions the Co-op underwent in 2016? Who kept providing top-notch customer service despite some challenging working conditions? Who worked around construction obstacles yet continued to cook up some of the best tasting and highest quality food in town? Who helped shoppers safely navigate the parking lot during construction? Who implemented several new programs this year, including Flash Sales and First Fridays at the Co-op?
Co-op staff, that’s who! And that is why each and every member of our staff earned the 2016 Co-op Cooperator of the Year award!
Kudos to the best team any co-op could possibly ask for.
You kept things rolling during the many transitions and you made it look easy. Co-op’s Rock because the people that work at co-ops ROCK IT every day! Thank you for everything you do to make the Co-op great!
