SeaVU
Board of Directors
Michael J. Coffey, Business Members Director & Acting President
Initially interested in the "one man's trash is another man's
treasure" phenomenon, Michael began researching barter systems
and community currencies in the late 1990s. Since then he's also
been involved in teaching workshops on voluntary simplicity, personal
finances, local economics, and other money and environmental issues.
Ross
Krzysko, Individual Members Director & Acting Secretary
Ross worked in the recycling and reclamation industry for many years
on the east coast until moving to Seattle where a friend sparked
his interest in building community. He volunteered as a steering
team member for a communities conference called Co-Opportunities
Northwest. Ross met Michael Coffey at the first sign up session
for a previous incarnation of the community currency system called
Local Exchange Trading System.
Jenny
Heins, Operations Director & Acting Treasurer
Jenny joined the SeaVU community on the heels of Bush's second term
election. Disheartened by the direction the federal government was
taking us, she was looking for a way to use her skills and energy
in her community and keep her wealth focused locally. Jenny has
been a local small business owner for many years, and has a background
in environmental and social research. She also currently serves
on the steering committee for Sustainable Ballard.
