Have You Voted Yet?
Member-owners, our Board of Directors Election is going on now! Voting is fast, easy, and you can do it in stores or online at the link below:
This year we are asking member-owners to vote for our Board of Directors, and to vote for some simple but important changes to the Co-op bylaws, which will make our organization more inclusive. Remember, cooperative ownership is a special thing, and with it comes important responsibilities. Voting is one of the many ways you can exercise your democratic duty of cooperative ownership. We look forward to counting your vote!
Voting closes at 9 p.m. on April 30
Why Your Vote Matters
You make an impact. According to our bylaws, we need at least 500 votes to certify an election. Every vote counts.
Your voice is essential. One of the things that truly excites me about the cooperative model is the power it gives to its members. A member-elected board is a cornerstone of that power. Serving on the board is a significant commitment, requiring dedication and carrying substantial fiduciary responsibilities. By voting in our board election, you directly influence the direction of your community-owned business.
Democracy is special! A cooperative is one of the most democratic organizations in the world. With rising challenges to democratic norms worldwide, it is up to us to show, through action and example, that we value our own cooperative democracies.
Stay tuned to our website to learn more as the voting period gets closer. Vote online or by paper ballot at any of our locations. We look forward to counting your vote!
