Thank you to our five recent candidates for the Board of Directors. David Lee and Rebecca Guralnick, incumbent members, were each reelected to new three-year terms. Newcomer Stephanie Dernek was elected to a three-year term, while newcomer Richard Diaz was elected to a two-year term. Again, thanks to those owners who ran and to those owners who voted.

I’d also like to send a fond farewell to our two outgoing board directors, Ashley Fisher and Tay Fatke. Former Board President, Ashley Fisher, is wrapping up her sixth and final year on Outpost’s Board. While she was board president, Ashley provided sensitive, compassionate and firm leadership and remains highly respected and admired by her colleague board members. Because of her extensive time on the Outpost Board, Ashley was very familiar with board and committee processes and established a warm and supportive relationship with the co-op’s CEO, which became the standard at our co-op.

Tay Fatke is also parting ways with Outpost’s Board after three years of service. During his tenure, he served on the Nominations Committee, was Chair of the Engagement and Development Committees and served as Board Secretary this past year.

We wish Ashley and Tay much success in all their future endeavors.

Peace and see you in the aisles!

Duncan Shrout

Outpost Board President
