Improving the Co-op



Plans For Summer Board
Overall supporting and advancing initiatives the Summer Committee is interested in pursuing
------------------------------------------------------------------
Personal Interests
- Helping appoint a third alumni representative to the board over the summer
- Alumni association x Summer board retreat
- Working with other external partners (Alumni, Campus, NASCO, and other Nonprofits)
- Establishing a Open Co-op Committee

Platforms
Access & Transparency
Making it easier for students to find, join, and navigate co-op life with clearer information on availability, costs, and what to expect as a member.
Housing That Serves Everyone
Improving responsiveness, access to resources, and the day-to-day experience for members living in a BSC houses.
Working Collaboratively
As a board member I would try to participate in a way where every perspective is welcomed and no voice gets left behind. Create space for open dialogue, facilitate productive discussion, and make sure decisions reflect the full range of member input not just the loudest voices in the room.
Ensuring there is a good liaison with our external partners (bsc alumni association, afro task force, campus)
