Board of Directors Elections
Build the Future of our Co-op
One of the benefits of being a Co-op Member—and one of our seven cooperative principles—is the ability to elect the Co-op's Board of Directors each year. Additionally, Co-op Members seeking to have a greater impact can run for the Board of Directors and help shape the direction of the Co-op’s future.
