Board of Directors

	Jessica Glebke- Jessica moved from the Hi-Line to Missoula to attend college in 1994. She fell in love with the place, it's people, and it's wonderful access to beautiful local food. After school she left Montana but couldn't stay away too long. In 2005, a good friend talked her into joining the Co-op. Her interest and participation increased and she was elected to the board in 2008. She loves being a Co-op member because it allows her to fight corporate dominance, support local business, and be a part of something that is doing good in the community, all while getting great prices on the best local & natural foods around.
	Leslie Kitchens Guerreri- When Leslie's neighbors started up the Homestead Buying Club, precursor to MCFC, she began to learn about the co-op basic principles. She has been a fan ever since and a board member since 2005. Leslie operates an anti-bluegrass lawn landscaping company, bringing valuable experience in business planning and management to the board.
	Jack Rowan- Author, director, and producer of the on-going opus "The Idi-Odyssey," Jack first became involved with the Missoula Community Food Co-op in May of 2005. His interest is driven by a deep commitment to simplicity, community progression, and consensus decision-making. Jack was elected to the Co-op Board of Directors by fellow members at the first Annual Meeting, October 2006. Jack holds a Masters degree in Cultural Anthropology with an emphasis in Ethnobotany. He operates a low-impact landscape and home restoration business, contributing perspectives from numerous years in business and non-profit management.
	Ben Weiss enjoys food; meatballs, stir-fry with Montana veggies and tofu, quesadillas, apple pie, fresh cherries, dairy products in any form-everything except deviled eggs. An adventurous eater from he could chew, Ben never shies from a new culinary opportunity. His curiosity and interest in eating and preparing food led to a curiosity about where food comes from. Introduced to the co-op by friends just as the doors to the store officially opened in 2007, Ben found he could take an active role in where the food he ate came from. As an added bonus, Ben found the more food he ate from the co-op, the more he was helping the community. When he is not eating or thinking about food, Ben can be heard on KBGA College Radio and seen biking around town. He is currently finishing his master's degree in Community and Environmental Planning at The University of Montana. Ben brings his experience in non-profit management and community involvement to the board and hopes to help the growth and development of the great thing that is the Missoula Community Food Co-op.
