2010 Board Statement
I have been a member of HCoop since 2005; I wrote the Domtool Emacs mode, was involved in the 2009 migration project, started the hcoopstatus Identica group, and am redesigning the member portal. My platform:
- Plan to expand to 150--250 members during the next year and then end the pledge system once we can do so without increasing dues significantly.
- Move HCoop accounts to the National Cooperative Bank or a similar credit union.
- Implement a strong environmental policy when we are financially able to; purchase carbon offsets to compensate for our use of nonrenewable energy.
- Document development processes for our custom software and recruit a fourth admin. Also consider making it possible for admins to delegate certain tasks to trusted non-admins.
Last but not least, I will have HCoop T-shirts printed, finishing the project that NathanKennedy began in 2005. (:
