By Mark Thorne, Chair, Nominations & Elections Committee
Hey Co-op owners, it’s that time of year again! You know what I’m talking about….Co-op Board of Directors elections! If you have ever considered getting more involved with your Moscow Food Co-op community, then this is a perfect opportunity. There are three open seats in this year’s election. Board election packets are available at https://www.moscowfood.coop/boardelection, or you can pick one up at the Co-op’s Customer Service Desk. But don’t delay — the deadline for submitting an application is January 31, 2020.
Eligible candidates will be asked to attend a candidate orientation session on February 12, and participate in the annual Candidate Forum on March 23. The electronic voting period is Sunday, March 15 through Saturday, March 28.
I can honestly say that being a Board member is great experience, and there is the benefit of getting an 18% volunteer discount on all Co-op purchases! Email boardelections@moscowfood.coop with any questions, and thanks for considering running for the Board!
