This year’s Annual Meeting will be outside in Memorial Field right next door to us! We’ll have a tent and tables set up for you to listen, schmooze and eat. Masks are required regardless of vaccination status unless you’re eating.
Hear a store update from Troy, a Board update from Jake, some financial updates from Brandon, and MORE!
Music by Chantell McFarland and food by the Marketplace Kitchen.
Here’s the schedule:
10-11: check in
11-12:30: meeting time!
12:30-2: voting and lunch
What’s on the election ballot this year? Three things:
Vote for the 3 Board candidates you feel best represent your vision of our future!
Vote for 12 local non-profit organizations you feel should receive our monthly Round Up for Change donations for 2022.
Vote to approve a change to bylaw 3.4 to read “No Director shall be engaged by the Cooperative as a regular employee, or have an immediate family member employed in a full-time or management capacity. A former employee of the Cooperative may not serve on the Board until one year has elapsed since serving as a Cooperative employee.” The Board has voted to amend the Berkshire Food Co-op By-law 3.4 for the sake of clarity and transparency. It has been the Board's practice to discourage and not nominate owners for election to the Board who have family members who work at the Co-op full time or in management to avoid any conflicts of interest. They felt that if it was our working practice that it was in everyone's best interest to make that policy official and clear.
Due to COVID we’ve limited attendance to 100 people, and we’ve reached that cap. But don’t worry! You can still hear what everyone has to say by watching the video of it that will be posted shortly after the meeting. Thanks for understanding!
