It’s been three years since I first ran for the Board of Modo<\/a>, our local car sharing co-operative. Serving on the Modo board has been an immense privilege and pleasure. It’s an amazing organization, a great board, incredible staff and an important mission. It’s what I’ll likely be speaking about at the upcoming Disruption ’17 by CU Water Cooler conference.<\/p>\n

I’m privileged to have been the board chair for the last couple of years, and hope to continue serving the members as I run for my second term as a volunteer director. If you’re a Modo member, please log in and vote<\/a>, and, hey, if you’re voting, please consider voting for me.<\/p>\n

Here’s my election statement and video<\/a> for my re-election…<\/p>\n

I\u2019m William Azaroff, vice president of community investment at Vancity and current chair of Modo Co-operative\u2019s volunteer board of directors. I\u2019m up for re-election this year, and I hope you\u2019ll vote for me to continue serving Modo\u2019s membership.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m extremely proud to be a part of the Modo board. In the three years since my election, we have successfully merged with Victoria Carshare Co-op, brought in new leadership and renewed our strategic planning process.<\/p>\n

Patrick Nangle came to Modo from Purolator Canada, where he was also CEO. He is a values-based leader whose deep knowledge of business, operations and technology will move our co-op forward in the increasingly complex and competitive world of car sharing.<\/p>\n

With Patrick on board, we have begun a new strategic planning process to map out which roads are right for us. We are at a pivotal time in car sharing. Our local co-operative has a strong brand, loyal members and solid partnerships; yet our competitors are multi-national corporations who have the deepest pockets imaginable. Disruption is everywhere. Electric vehicles have far longer ranges and more affordable price points; self-driving cars are emerging on roads; and multi-modal transportation is expanding and evolving. We need people on our board who can solidify a local co-op\u2019s place amongst global players \u2013 people who can focus on competing against corporate giants while staying true to our core values.<\/p>\n

I would be honoured to earn your vote to continue this good work on behalf of the Modo membership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
