Now Accepting Board Nominations

​A crucial part of making the Purple Carrot Market a successful cooperative is that we are controlled by our owners. No one owner holds more power than anyone else. Annually, our owners choose board member to represent them on the Board of Directors, and each owner can only cast one ballot per election. This is what is called democratic owner control. 

The Purple Carrot Market is seeking nominations for owners who would like to run for a seat on Board of Directors. This year we have four open board seats. To run for the board, the individual must be an owner in "good standing"- current if on the payment plan option.  

Expectations for board members include:

• One 3-year term (or remainder of two 2-years and one 1-year)
• Attend 1-2 meetings per month
• Active committee work
• Serve as an ambassador for the co-op

Benefits of board service on the Purple Carrot Market are many including:

• Helping bring the co-op to opening and beyond
• Working with a team of great leaders
• Using your skills to strengthen our community 

If you are interested in serving on the board or nominating another owner, please email us at [email protected] to receive a nomination form. All nominations are due by Thursday, May 23 at 5:00 PM. Voting on the slate of candidates is scheduled to begin Friday, May 31 and goes through Thursday, June 20th with the results announced at our Annual Meeting scheduled for Tuesday, June 25th.
