Recap on Fiscal Year 2019-2020
Our Annual Member Meeting is a special event that brings together our three intersection co-op cultures – board, management, and co-op members – to celebrate our past fiscal year, July 1, 2019 - June 30, 2020. The meeting will review a financial summary and the changes and accomplishments of the fiscal year.
Democratic Member Control

- Submit Community Voices: This event can be considered the primary opportunity for co-op members to connect with other members, hear directly from the Board and Management Team, and provide input on co-op issues.
Board of Directors Election
Four Open Seats for 2021-2023 Term
Every spring at our Annual Members Meeting, co-op members elect new board members for two-year terms. Each membership household will place one vote to elect up to four candidates who best reflect their values and visions for the co-op. The member-elected candidates will then join our four standing board members to represent our community in overall governance.
Meet our Candidates
Election Ballot Emailed to Primary Residents
The ballot will be emailed a week prior to the meeting. To ensure one vote per membership household, the ballot will only be sent to the primary email address belonging to the household's primary resident. The primary resident should submit the ballot before the meeting, reflecting the consensus of all household members in their response. Which email will receive my household's ballot?
