Amy – per our contract with Orange County, I’m notifying you of changes in the membership of the <br />board of the Eno River Farmers’ Market (ERFM), effective 11 Mar 2023. The changes are a result of our <br />annual membership meeting and election. <br /> <br />Our board now consists of: <br /> <br />Matthew Lowe – Board Member and President, (252) 489-0603, 312 Woodlawn Drive, Mebane, <br />NC 27302, board membership expires March 2025, woodlawnroots@gmail.com <br />Flo Hawley – Board Member and Vice-President, (919) 360-4261, 615 Chapel Hill Creamery <br />Road, Chapel Hill, NC 27516, board membership expires March 2024, <br />flo@chapelhillcreamery.com <br />Emily Buehler – (Community Member appointed by the board) Board Member and Secretary, (919) 475- <br />5756, 657 McAdams Road, Hillsborough, NC 27278, board membership expires March 2024, <br />twobluestarz@yahoo.com <br /> <br />Bradley D. Dokter – Board Member and Treasurer, (313) 770-1137, 6803 Compton Road, Cedar Grove, <br />NC 27231-9362, board membership expires March 2026, bddokter@gmail.com <br /> <br />Meredith Taylor, Board Member, (440) 552-6737, 4229 Elg Road, Efland, NC 27243, board membership <br />expires March, 2026, fullcircleflowersnc@gmail.com <br /> <br />Kether Smith, Board Member, (828) 450-6558, 2325 Stagecoach Drive, Hillsborough, NC 27278, board <br />membership expires March, 2025, Botanistcidermaker@gmail.com <br /> <br />Martha Pengelly, Board Member, (919) 260-9986, 2503 Woods Loop, Hurdle Mills, NC 27541-8193, <br />board membership expires March, 2024, martha.pengelly@gmail.com <br /> <br />The changes include replacing our former president, Tracy LaFleur, with Mr. Lowe, and election of three <br />new board members (Ms. Taylor, Ms. Smith, and Ms. Pengelly), to replace three former board members <br />(Ms. LaFleur, Alison McCandless, and Kevin Mason). <br /> <br />The six elected board members are usually elected by the voting membership of the market to three- <br />year terms, whose periods are staggered to avoid complete board turn-over in any one year. (This year <br />was unusual in that two of our former board members stepped down during our market year, so <br />elections were also held to identify board members to replace them for the remainder of their <br />terms.) Elections are held in March of each year. Emily holds the community member position, a voting <br />position, to which position she is appointed by the board itself. <br />Officers are chosen by the board, each year, after elections have been held and the community member <br />appointed. Officers’ terms are all one year. <br />Board Members – please double check the data I have sent Amy – let me know ASAP if any information I <br />sent about you is incorrect. Thanks. <br /> <br />Bradley D. Dokter <br />Treasurer, ERFM <br />DocuSign Envelope ID: 9FB641C3-C7F6-4609-BE4A-71829032AD83
