2026 Board of Directors Candidate Forum

Now’s your chance to meet our Board Candidates!

We’re hosting a virtual Meet the Candidates Forum on Thursday, March 19 from 6-7 PM via Zoom, and you’re invited. This is a great opportunity to meet the four candidates running for three open seats on our Board of Directors. You’ll hear directly from each candidate and get a sense of who they are, why they’re running, and how they hope to serve you—our co-op community.

Can’t make it live? No worries! The forum will be recorded and shared, so you can watch whenever it works for you.

Voting opens April 1-14, so be sure to tune in and make an informed choice when it’s time to vote!

Our co-op utilizes the Policy Governance Ⓡ Model to clearly distinguish between the governance responsibilities of the board and the operational management responsibilities of the General Manager (GM). The board delegates operational responsibilities to the GM who has sole responsibility for them.
