2012 Nominations Committee Outreach
From the Board of Directors of the Main Market Co-op (MMC)
 
It is once again time in our annual membership calendar to begin the process of electing new members to the Board of Directors. This year the terms of three Directors come to an end. This is actually the last rotation of the original founding members of the Board.  In subsequent years two new Directors will be elected at the annual membership meeting in April.
 
The vision and mission of the Main Market Coop is carried out by the people whom you elect to the Board of Directors. It matters that you participate in this election process.
 
Ownership brings responsibility and we need YOU! Please consider applying for this important volunteer position. We have accomplished much and much remains to be done.
 
The attached application is due Saturday, February 11.

Applications can be emailed to: colshe@gmail.com

or mailed USPO to:
1720 W 14th Ave
Spokane, WA
