Help shape the future of Fertile Ground Food Cooperative!!
As stated in our bylaws, the Fertile Ground Food Cooperative Board of Directors is the group entrusted with the power to govern the Cooperative, and to ensure “that the mission of the Cooperative is carried out.”
The annual selection of board members is a critical contribution each member-owner makes to the health of the cooperative. Fertile Ground Food Cooperative is founded on democratic member control, meaning that board members are directly elected by and accountable to our member-owners. Our success depends on your involvement!
Want to cast your vote?
The cooperative’s voting period will run from Monday, December 18th to Sunday, December 31st. Please stay tuned to your email for details on your electronic ballot!
You can also learn more about the elections by attending our annual member-owner meeting on Saturday, December 2nd, from 2-4PM at the Southeast Raleigh YMCA (1436 Rock Quarry Rd. Raleigh, NC 27610). You can RSVP for this event today!
