Message From the Board


Greetings Provender Members,

Your Provender Board of Directors is hard at work ensuring that we keep the vows we made to you at the conference. We have been not only monitoring Susan’s work through her reports but auditing our policies as she reports on them. We have worked collaboratively with Susan to rewrite our membership growth and retention policy. It was a positive experience that resulted in a policy that better meets the needs of our organization. The board is excited for this collaboration to set the tone for the work ahead. On January 27th and 28th we will have an in person board meeting in Portland, OR. The meeting is open to all, lunch is provided and is delicious (of course). We will have a half-day Provender board orientation. I strongly encourage anyone who is interested in how the Provender board works to join us for this learning opportunity. If you would like to join us please rsvp to: evelyn@firstalt.coop or info@provender.org

Thank you for your continued support of Provender, Evelyn Hall Provender Board President
