Here’s my Candidate Statement + photo for the upcoming election.
________________
Hi Everyone, my name is Rada Turcanu and I’m running for the Board of Directors with Unumhum Brewing as a potential candidate for the Treasurer Role.
I joined Unumhum Brewing after seeing their booth at the Hop ’n Vine Festival in where-I-live and meeting some of their members. My background in accounting, finance, and operations led me to take interest in being involved within the financial arena of the co-op. Since then, I have worked with the current Treasurer and Finance Subcommittee in drafting: a) the Business Plan for the Taproom Opening, and b) a Profit & Loss Budget for the co-op.
My career in Accounting and Finance started after graduation from the local Santa Clara University with a role in public accounting at one of the top public accounting firms in the industry. Currently I run my own accounting consulting business, working with small- to medium-size companies in the US.
My journey in beer started after having a bad bottle of wine. At first, my palate had a preference for sours and lighter beers. After visiting countless breweries in the Bay Area, Ca, Ma and Oregon, and tasting hundreds of brews, I have learned to appreciate IPAs, stouts, red ales, etc. In the process, I have enjoyed learning about the craft beer community and connecting with strangers over a good beer. This journey has ultimately led me to today, where I want to partake in the growth of our local brewery and celebrate its collective accomplishments along the way.
In closing, I would like to continue contributing my skills and expertise in the growth of Unumhum Brewing in the following aspects: treasury, financial reports, Taproom Business Plan, pricing strategy, and all other financial and operational matters.
I hope to be able to count on your support during the upcoming election as well as during my potential term as a board member. Let’s do this together!
