Meet Our New Board Members

March 22, 2011 By mary.christensen Leave a Comment

As per our by-laws, in the case of resignations our BOD can make appointments  to serve the balance of the term of a vacant seat.  Such appointment will be subject to a vote of confirmation by the membership at the next term.

Board Seat B: Julie Smith

Julie moved to Fairbanks in 1982 with her husband, Doug.  She and Doug raised their two children and built five homes together in the Fairbanks community. She has worked as an attorney, mediator, trainer, non-profit director, and university administrator.  She is especially interested in the dynamics of cooperative decision-making and community engagement. Julie holds a B.S. in Political Science from Lake Superior State College, a J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School, and a Certificate in Integral Theory from JFK University.

Board Seat I: Thomas Paragi

Tom Paragi moved to Alaska in 1985 to attend UAF and has spent most of his career as a wildlife biologist, working for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and presently for the Alaska Department of Fish and Game.  Tom has served on the board of directors for a public radio station and community library in Galena and 8 years as an elected officer for the Alaska Chapter of The Wildlife Society (statewide professional organization for wildlife scientists).

Tom also served two 3-year appointments on the Citizen Advisory Board for Northern Area State Parks.   Tom’s interest in helping with Coop Market includes support for local agricultural production and economic development, increasing awareness of the food system upon which we rely, and working with friends and neighbors to keep our community a good place to live.  Tom is a private seaplane pilot and enjoys cross country skiing, canoeing, woodworking, gardening, and gathering wild foods.
