2020 Annual Meeting Agenda and Guidelines

October 23, 2020 By Kristin Summerlin Leave a Comment

Co-op Market 12th Annual Owners’ Meeting: 4 p.m. Saturday, October 24, 2020, via Zoom

It’s almost time for our Annual Owners’ Meeting! Wondering what to expect? Here’s our agenda.

We’ll be meeting virtually, via Zoom, and so we’ve created a set of Virtual Meeting Guidelines with important rules and instructions. Please read them before attending our meeting.

NOTE: Registration is required. Please RSVP here. When you register, you will receive the Zoom login information by email as soon as we’ve confirmed that you are an Owner.

Our meeting will start at 4 p.m., but you can enter the waiting room starting at 3:30 p.m. Please come in at least 10 minutes early to be sure you don’t have any technical problems.

During the business meeting, you will be asked to vote by poll to approve the agenda and the minutes from last year’s meeting. You can read the minutes here.

We look forward to seeing you Saturday!

Please join us – virtually – for our 12th Annual Owners’ Meeting!

October 13, 2020 By Kristin Summerlin Leave a Comment

NOTE: Registration is required. Please RSVP here.

Each year our Owners come together as a community to get an update on the state of the co-op from our board of directors and general manager. Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we will hold our 2020 meeting virtually, via Zoom.

Please join us!

Our agenda will include:

• Election Results
• State of the Co-op
• GM Search Update
• Q&A Session
• Prizes!

This year’s guest is William Deal, Western Corridor Development Manager for National Co+op Grocers. (NCG is our co-op of retail food cooperatives.) William has served our co-op as a consultant and advisor. He’ll discuss challenges & opportunities facing the cooperative community nationwide.

Owners must RSVP for the meeting. If you are on Facebook, we have also created a Facebook event to help you keep up to date.

Save the date and register ASAP for an opportunity to receive one of 50 gift bags filled with samples and treats!

When you RSVP, you will receive the login info for Zoom via email. We encourage you to try connecting at least five to 10 minutes before the start of the session on the 24th. If you haven’t used Zoom before, you can find video tutorials here.

Questions for our Q&A session should be submitted ahead of time via email. Please send us your questions before Friday, October 23rd.

Though we can’t meet in person this year, we hope you’ll join us to celebrate our achievements and learn about what’s in store for your co-op.

2019 Annual Meeting Report

October 31, 2019 By Kristin Summerlin Leave a Comment

Approximately 60 Co-op Market Owners came together for good food, fun, information and inspiration at our 11th Annual Owners’ Meeting on October 19th. Lots of them won prizes, too, including turkeys, $25 gift certificates, chocolate, a basket of Fair Trade goods, and more.

The meeting agenda and financial statements are available here.

Agriculture Report
We learned about the current state of farming in Alaska from Scott Mugrage, president of the Alaska Farm Bureau. He said the number of farms in Alaska is up by 36% at a time when farming is down by 3% nationwide, and Alaska farm revenue is up by 100%. We also lead the nation in female- and veteran-owned farms. Mugrage said that although we currently grow less than 5% of the food Alaska needs, we have millions of acres of potentially farmable land, and some of the best of it is in nearby Nenana. He sees the tremendous growth potential in turning Alaska-grown ingredients into value-added products, such as heat-and-eat meals.

2019 Election results
More Owners voted in our annual Board of Directors election than ever before. We received ballots from 488 of our 3070 eligible voters. That’s 16.5%, many more than the 307 needed to achieve the 10% required by our Bylaws.

• Art Gelvin was elected to Seat B
• Brian Kassof’s appointment to Seat D was confirmed
• Anduin McElroy’s appointment to Seat I was confirmed
• The amendment to our Bylaws was passed, decreasing the number of board seats to seven from nine and the board quorum to four from five.

Thank you to all Owners who voted in our election and to those who attended our Annual Meeting. You are the heart of our co-op!
