Purple Carrot Governing Board Elections

Want to serve on the Purple Carrot Market Board of Directors?
Can you help identify someone who would be a great board member?
Annually the Purple Carrot Market holds an election to fill positions on its governing board.  As a democratically run business, board members are elected by our owners and you must be an owner to serve on the board of directors.  Due to COVID-19, our Annual Meeting, which includes board member elections, has been postponed to September.  In preparation for that Meeting, we are reaching out to our owners to encourage interested individuals to stand for election to the board.
The Purple Carrot is in a very busy and exciting stage of planning the opening of our locally-owned grocery store in downtown Little Falls!  At this point in our development, we are specifically seeking board members with a passion for the co-op, time to commit, and who have skills/experience in any of the following areas:

• Communication/marketing skills
• Leadership/strategic thinking skills
• Finance skills
• Technology/business systems knowledge
• Building/construction management
• Capital Campaign planning experience

Each term is for a three-year period.  Interested in learning more?  Please email us at [email protected].  We will follow up with you soon after receiving your email.  Ready to apply?  Please complete this application form and return it electronically to the email address above or by mail to PO Box 724, Little Falls, MN  56345.  The deadline for applications is 5PM Monday, August 10th.
