Nominations & Elections
At the beginning of each year, a nominating committee (members elected by fellow members) seeks candidates to run for the board and the following year’s nominating committee. Contact information for the nominating committee is published in the co-op’s newsletter. Eligible candidates willing to run for the board or nominating committee will appear on the official ballot for the corresponding district. For more information on serving on the board, including the anticipated time commitment and covered director expenses, please call us at (800) 833-8876.
Each co-op membership is eligible to cast 1 ballot during the annual cooperative election process. An official notice of the annual meeting and a corresponding ballot will be mailed to each membership’s address on file, typically in early June. The membership may use the mailed official ballot and envelope to vote in advance of the annual meeting or vote in person during the annual meeting. Typically, each district will elect 1 director and up to 3 nominating committee members to represent the corresponding district.
