Experience, education, and skills that contribute to the effectiveness as a board member: Worked in the insurance business since 1970, owned my own insurance agency here in Whitewater from 1983 to 2012 and Mike Dickens has let stay working here right up to today. I graduated from UWW in 1970. I have developed a lot of sales skills and I have signed up a lot of members because of them.

Past experiences you have had with food co-ops: I have no direct experience however my daughter worked at Linden Hills Co- Op while in college in Minneapolis.

Inspirational Co-op: It can't get better than a locally owned Co-operative Grocery Store!
