While the world watched to see who the next US president would be, the co-op was having an election too, albeit much more low key! This was our first time offering electronic voting for a Board of Directors election. A total of 228 co-op owners (members) voted for two uncontested seats. Here are the results:
- Ryan Newstrum was elected to seat 7.
- Venus Fromwiller was re-elected to seat 8.
We’re also pleased to announce that Vance McDermott who works in our grocery department is our new Staff Director. Big thanks to Terrance Stearns for his time serving in that role. Click here to see a full list of our Board of Directors, the people representing our community-owned business.
If you are a co-op owner and did not receive an email for voting, please get in touch with lynne@astoria.coop so we can get an up-to-date email address in our system for next time. Thanks!
