Meet the Newly Elected Board of Directors

North Coast Co-op

Kirsten Lindquist
Employee Director
Term: 11/2019 - 11/2022

I am an East Coast transplant who has slept in 44 states and have only been in California for eleven years, the last six in Humboldt, where I hope to stay for good. I love co-ops, and this is the seventh co-op I have been a member of and the third that I have worked at. Working at co-ops is my fourth and hopefully final career path, having dabbled in academe, national and state politics, as well as being a food entrepreneur. In my free time I can be found running my dog at the beach and in the forest, or watching great films. Cooking for others and enjoying with friends is one of my greatest joys. I look forward to serving the co-op community as a member of the board. ■

 

Laura Wright 
General Director 
Term: 11/2019 - 11/2022

Having grown up in a small, remote town outside of Antwerp, Belgium I was no foreigner to the do-it-yourself / local concept. At the age of 13, we moved to the central valley of CA – culture shock maximus. Midway through high school, my mother commented that I belong in Humboldt — not knowing what a “Humboldt” was we took a road trip. I fell in love. In 2007 I moved to Humboldt County where I attended HSU and was lucky enough to find my now-husband. Supporting local businesses and agriculture is something I hold near and dear to my heart. The sense of community in this county is amazing and I’m thankful to be a part of it. I look forward to sharing this passion of supporting local community by serving on the board of the North Coast Co-op. Thank you for the opportunity. ■

 

Roger  
General Director
Term: 11/2019 - 11/2022

I am an old-comer to the Arcata Co-op, having been involved since around 1977. Probably the most useful thing I can share is I am very available to promote your ideas and desires to sustain our Co-op. My phone number is 444-9901 and I'm in the Arcata Co-op most every day, on my evening transition from work to home. I encourage you to reach out to board members, store workers and your fellow members to keep us going well. ■
