Democratic Member Control
 

The Co-op’s membership has the opportunity each year to elect persons to the Board of Directors, whose terms are staggered.  
This year the Co-op’s members can vote from September 2-13 to elect three people to the seven seat board of directors.
Members can vote in the store or at the annual meeting on September 13th at Urban Roots (which is always a good time). 
The nominees this year are Greta de Jong, Matt Johnson, Marcia Litsinger, Jeannette Smith and Dagny Stapleton.
