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.
