Run for Modo’s Board of Directors! Read "Why I Ran” – by William Azaroff
Serving on Modo’s Board of Directors is a great way to support the co-op and represent the needs of members. It’s also a rewarding way to contribute one’s expertise while ensuring Modo’s social purpose is met. And, it’s a great opportunity to serve with William Azaroff, the current chair of Modo’s volunteer board of directors and the Executive Lead of Member Experience & Community Engagement at Vancity.
"If you’re a Modo member, are interested in co-ops, mobility, the sharing economy, transportation issues in our local communities, and getting some good board experience, consider running for the Modo co-op board. It’s an opportunity I wouldn’t trade for anything." ~William Azaroff
Read why William ran for Modo’s Board and why he loves it in our latest Guest Post.
