Annual Meeting & Election Update

Save the date!

Our annual meeting will be held on Thursday, April 18th from 5:30-7:30pm.

More details soon!


Given that the board has an adequate number of members (as specified in our bylaws) after accounting for upcoming expiring terms, and given the financial state of the store, the board determined that its energies were better spent on dealing with plans for longevity rather than on-boarding and orienting new members. The board also wants to focus inward on its own systems and strategic planning as well as strengthening its relationship with members and staff. We believe this best serves the current need of our staff operators as well as improves our ability to bring in and empower new members next year.

Meet The Board

Your Board of Directors has an essential role in supporting the growth of Main Market Coop!

They act as the voice of the membership and serve as the governing body of the Coop, not running daily operations but setting policy and vision for how the store meets our members' needs now and in the future. Your board members welcome your feedback and thoughts. They can be reached by email at [email protected]


The Main Market Board has seven seats. Each Director is elected to a 3-year term.

Call for 2018 Board Candidates!

Serving on the Board of Directors is an opportunity to engage more deeply with the financial and development pieces of running a cooperatively owned business. As a Director, you represent the Member/Owners and work closely with fellow Directors and the General Manager. An elected term is 3-years long and Directors meet monthly for two hours, more or less depending on the agenda. The Board may also form committees to take on specific work or projects in their purview. The minimum commitment is to attend the monthly meetings, to be prepared for the meetings by reading all of the materials provided ahead of time, to be engaged, and inspired to help grow our vibrant and diverse community! You will receive training and support throughout your term so passion is just as valuable as experience; no experience necessary. However, you do need to be a Member/Owner in good standing!


Are you feeling the call? Find the application here!

Application deadline is March 2, 2018. Once you have submitted your application you will be contacted by the Board Nominating Committee with further steps
