Voting for Board Directors Now Open | Ends 04/15/25 @ 10p

It’s Board Director voting time! Our bylaws require an owner vote for filling open Board Director positions annually.

This year, six candidates are running for three open Director positions. The three elected Directors will serve a full three-year term, ending in April 2028. Additionally, eight organizations are competing for two Bring-A-Bag Fund recipient slots.
