New Board Member: Naomi

Uniquely: Sustainable. Practical. Distinguished.

These words not only describe the PDT Co-Op, but are the PDT Co-Op. As a PDT volunteer, I know that the Co-Op is a unique place: from the organic, sustainable products offered, to the practical customers who shop locally, to the volunteers who pride themselves on their friendliness; I cannot express how honored I am to be apart of this phenomenon. Now, as a more established member of the Morris Community, University of MN, Morris student, and an active volunteer, I am thrilled about the possibility of becoming a PDT board member. I want to become a board member to further promote the Co-Op, help organize “behind the scenes”, and work to uphold the superior reputation and ties with the community that PDT has. As a board member, I would offer an innovative, creative perspective, I would serve as a vital connection between the Co-Op, Morris Community and University, I would offer extensive organizational and mobilizing skills, and I would work to serve PDT and the Morris community with mounds of passion and commitment. If elected, I would do nothing short of giving my all; after all, I am a motivated, organized, lively first year UMM student who strives on the notion of “community” and “sustainability.”
