SIDNEY -- Crossroads Cooperative Association announces the retirement of long-term board members Gale Raddatz and Jerome Frei.

Frei and Raddatz have stepped down from their roles with the Crossroads Board of Directors after a combined 64 years of service. Frei recently served as the Chairman of the Board and has been on the board for 25 years.

Raddatz, a founding member, has served on the board for 39 years. He was a board member during the formation of Crossroads Coop 37 years ago. He has served in multiple roles on the board, including Chairman, and was a great mentor for Frei when he was voted on as Chairman.

With these vacancies, two new members were voted onto the board in August: Collin Anderson, who has been serving as an Associate Director, and Carter Kokjer, Crossroads' newest member. Crossroads Cooperative is grateful to have both on board and appreciates the knowledge and support they will provide for the Coop and its Patrons.
