Nicholas Pignone

Co-op member since: 2006

Board member since: 2008

What brought you to the Co-op Board? : I’m a relatively new Potsdam person.  My family and I moved to the area in 2006, and we immediately decided to make this our permanent home.  We were naturally drawn to the Co-op for its commitment to local suppliers, its inventory of excellent products at great prices and its mission to better the environment and community through co-operative means.

What will you contribute to the Board and the Co-op? : I will strive to keep the Co-op strong in business, by working to increase its profitability, and strong in spirit, by working to keep the Co-op true to its core principles.  My specific goals are to build upon the channels of communication between the workers, the board members and the general membership.  I will also work toward the further development and implementation of personnel policies and training opportunities for both the volunteers and the employees of the Co-op.
