Nominating Committee Results
Our Annual Meeting is an important opportunity for members to participate in the cooperative’s democratic process by electing board members who represent their interests. Our seven-member Board of Directors is comprised of local residents elected by fellow co-op members. Directors serve three-year terms, and election results are announced during the Annual Meeting each September.
As part of the preparation for this year’s Annual Meeting, the Nominating Committee met on June 3 to select candidates for the Board of Directors seats representing Districts 2, 3, and 7. After reviewing eligible candidates, the committee nominated the following members:
District 2:
