Meet Your Candidates

Join us for a social "Meet the Candidates" night on May 31st, 7pm in the Co-op Classroom. There will be light refreshments and an opportunity to personally ask each candidate any question you may have. Candidate statements and video interviews are also online.
 
New E-Voting Elections Process
This year our Board of Director election will be held online to help us take another step towards fulfilling our 2030 zero waste goals. We're using Simply Voting, an experienced third-party company, to securely collect votes and tally the election results. 
 
Co-op owners on our email list should have recently received an email message from "Ashland Food Co-op" <[email protected]>. The email contains secure login and password instructions as well as a link to our election site. If you have any questions please contact our Board Administrator at boardadministrator@ashlandfood.coop.
 
Participate In Democratic Governance, VOTE!
When you vote in the annual Board of Directors election, you are engaging in what defines us a cooperative - we're a democratic organization controlled by you, our owners. This democratic process shapes all that distinguishes us from other grocery stores. Voting takes place May 23rd - June 14th.
 
2017 Annual Meeting - Coming Online October 25
The Board of Directors will hold a virtual (online) Annual Meeting on October 25th.The Board sees this new platform as a way to provide for more owner input and to accommodate for different schedules. Owners who cannot attend the interactive meeting online will have the option to attend the meeting in the Co-op Classroom in person. 
 
The annual picnic will move to be part of the Co-op's 45th anniversary celebration on September 30. Stay tuned for more info!
 
Thank You!
Thank you for shopping local and supporting your neighborhood co-op for 45 years.
