Company Shops Market Development Enters a New Phase

Monday, January 26th, 2009

Company Shops Market is seeking an ownership and project coordinator for the next phase of development.

Melissa Frey, the founder of Chatham Marketplace, who has served admirably as the project manager for the startup phase of the project, is moving on to new opportunities. This has created a part-time position in membership development and events planning. The qualifications for this position are enthusiasm for natural foods and co-op grocery development; great people, web, event planning, and promotion skills; and the ability to work both independently and in conjunction with the Board of Directors. Experience with fundraising and membership expansion are very important. The person in this position must be highly organized and familiar with Microsoft Office.

The next phase of the CSM project includes final location selection, systematic membership growth, general manager selection, and marketing community investment notes to finance the project.

Persons interested in this position can give me a call at 336.584.3388, or email a resume and cover letter to me at sharon.dent@wnhplaw.com, or by fax at 336.584.3994.

We look forward to this next, exciting phase.
