Making History, One Epic Team-Building Exercise at a Time
Amanda Charland. Deep thinker. Environmentalist. Mountain biker. Snowboarder. Magic player. Industry disruptor. Glass-ceiling demolisher. Holder of epic meetings. Creator of strange team-building art projects that only she fully understands. Jedi-level nerd. Slayer of orcs. And the first female GM at one of the largest food co-ops in the country.
As we close out Women’s History Month, we’re proud to spotlight our own GM. Since taking the helm in 2022, Amanda has served as the first female leader in our 90-year history. While many greats preceded her, there is a unique pressure in being “the first.”
Amanda stepped into the role with incredible heart and grit, and the Co-op continues to make huge strides under her leadership. Kudos, Amanda, for your place in our history—and for giving us a legitimate excuse to use the phrase “slayer of orcs” in a professional capacity.
