Candidate Statement:
As a passionate and dedicated resident of Tacoma, I am honored to put forth my candidacy for the Co-op Board position.  My deep-rooted pride in our community drives my commitment to its growth and prosperity.  

My journey is defined by service and leadership.  My professional background includes 14 years at Apple Inc, where I was immersed in leadership development and real estate.  I had the privilege of spearheading the launch and management of new Apple stores.  These experiences have honed my skills in strategic planning, financial management, and community engagement.  

I also have the privilege of coaching golf at Silas High School, imparting valuable life skills and fostering young talent. In addition, I volunteer for the Tacoma School District, mentoring students in achieving their financial goals, empowering them to make informed choices for their future.  

With my unique blend of corporate leadership and community involvement, I am committed to bringing a fresh perspective and strong sense of responsibility to the Board position. 

Thank you for your consideration and vote!

Candidate Statement:

Moving our community forward with a sense of place, a sense of provision, and purpose. It’s important that our Tacoma/Ruston community can enjoy and benefit from this better resource, food, and lifestyle choice that is cooperatively engaged with all of us in the most neighborly manner.

Interestingly, the word “Central’ is part of our name and it would be my honor to ensure that the idea of being a pivotal member of this growing community continues to be intelligently and responsibly managed. Hoping that the vision which first launched our nameplate is channeled in only the best way forward.

On a personal note, I recall when the start of the Central C-op was beginning to take place with the first construction, opening day and the community’s enthusiasm for not just a market, but one that represented a larger whole in locally sourced products, eco-friendly selections and a more principled platform that said, “We’re part of you.”

Candidate Statement:

My name is Hannah Jessup and I am the assistant produce manager at our Tacoma location. I have worked for Central Co-op, Tacoma, for about three and a half years! 

I was able to serve on the Nominating Committee for the past two years and have loved being able to get to know our members as well as the community better than ever. 

I enjoy being able to do community outreach, as well as chatting with potential board members in the store! I am able to have a more hands-on approach than some of the other nomination committee members since I am in the store almost every day - face to face with members. Among many other things -  I will bring creativity, determination, and attention to detail to the Nomination Committee. I pride myself on my organizational skills as well as communication and being personable. Thank you for considering me to be on the Nominating Committee another year!
