Board Nominations for 2026:
The Co-op opened in the Fall of 2024 to provide the community with local and organic products and support local producers. Our mission is the following: The Tri-Cities Food Co-op is a community-based and locally oriented natural food market committed to supporting organic food systems, sourcing products at prices fair to both the grower and consumer, while considering the environmental impacts of production, packaging, and use of our products.
As our cooperative successfully completes its first year of operation and continues to grow, we are pleased to announce our Second Annual Meeting and Board of Directors Election. In support of the continued governance and strategic development of our store, the Board of Directors is now accepting nominations for three board positions.
Each director serves a three-year term. Terms are staggered so that one-third of the Board is elected each year, ensuring continuity of leadership.
Please note that Board service is voluntary and uncompensated. This is a working board, and directors should be prepared to actively participate in governance, one committee, and project.
Members may nominate themselves or another co-op member. Please use the button below to download the application and email the completed form to tcfoodcoopelections@gmail.com
