MEC Election: Why I'm voting for Steve Jones

We Mountain Equipment Co-op members are voting from now through May 23 to elect 3 directors. I'm voting for Steve Jones because he pushes strongly to restore democratic member control, which the incumbent board has been undermining for several years now – see:

I'm also voting for:
- Tamara Paton: "I want MEC – and our Board – to feel less corporate and more co-operative."; and
- Robert Henderson: "I’m a nature lover with 6 years of board experience in large stakeholder-driven organizations."
