2017 Board Elections

This fall, the Cedar Falls Food Co-op will be conducting its annual elections for the Board of Directors. Before that gets underway, though, there’s still an opportunity for you to run for the Board.

 

The Co-op is currently accepting applications for members interested in serving on the Board. Details about running for the Board are on the Co-op’s website. There you’ll find an application and other important details, including a comprehensive FAQ.  Mailed applications should be postmarked by Thursday, September 7, and emailed applications should be sent by midnight on Saturday, September 9.

In September, we’ll begin the elections for the Board, and we’ll be using an online election process again this year. Details will be distributed to members via email later closer to the election. We’ll reach out to members who don’t have an email account to provide them with alternative voting methods.

 

Why online voting? By reducing the amount of paper generated in creating nearly 700 ballots and mailing them, plus using a highly respectable and very secure online system called Simply Voting, the Co-op anticipates an even greater participation in the elections, which is important, as Democratic Governance is one of the Co-op’s key principles.

 

Please watch for important voting instructions, and be sure to vote!
