Be Part of Planning for the Co-op's Future
We are now seeking candidates for our 2016 Board election!
“Can we serve our owner-members and the broader community more effectively? How can we differentiate ourselves from competition that sells nearly the same product mix? How can we strengthen the farm-to-table connection? How do we educate the public about the Co-op Difference?
Our co-op is more than just a grocery store! These are some of the big picture questions the board strives to answer.”
At Linden Hills Co-op, our board of directors represents nearly 9,000 owners. The board has the very important job of making strategic plans and goals for the co-op and ensuring sound management of its resources, all while staying true to the interests and needs of the member-owners. The board is made up of 9 directors with rotating 3 year terms. Each year, three new seats are open on the board to allow for fresh perspectives and accurate representation of our community. We are now accepting applications for the 3-year term beginning November 2016. This year, there are 3 full-term seats open on the board of directors. There is also an opening for a vacated position with 2 years left in its term.
A qualified board candidate is a co-op member with a passion for our community. They are a strong leader, not afraid to voice their opinions and bring their unique perspectives and skills to the conversation. They are willing to put in the time necessary to attend board meetings and co-op events and remain connected to the greater co-op community.
Interested members are invited to fill out a board application. Applications are also available at the customer service desk. All applications are due to the co-op by Sunday, July 17th at 9pm. The board nominations committee will then review the applications and create a slate of candidates that will be introduced to the membership. Member-owners will elect the new board directors at the annual meeting in October.
