HAPPY CO-OP ANNIVERSARY, LIZA!
In these times of uncertainty, there is one thing we all can count on and that is the dedicated and thoughtful leadership of Liza Tedesco, General Manager of the Co-op.
She is the first to say and acknowledge she could not do the stellar General Managerial work we all benefit from without the dedicated work of the Co-op staff.
She is the one that steered the Co-op through new sales highs and she has guided through sales declines.
She rallied through the Camp Fire, guided and is still guiding us through a pandemic and squarely facing the recent justified reaction to systemic racism in ways that are personal to us all and our area.
She has a fierce dedication to the growth and success of Chico Natural Foods Co-op that goes beyond the four walls of the building.
Liza is driven to support local food economies and every aspect of the necessary collaborations of multiple players, from growers and distributors to staff, member-owners and the community at large.
We appreciate her and congratulate her on a job well-done for 12 years as GM and her service as staff for a total of 19 years.
We love you, Liza!
The Chico Natural Foods Cooperative Board of Directors,
Michael, Sam, Laurie, Dara, Kathy Ariana & Aaron
