We'll chat about local foods, sustainability, community connectedness, and more. We'll also have Chicago Market Board members on hand to answer any questions you may have about the project and how you can get involved as an Owner of the Co-op!

So, You Want to Be a Board Member?
Join Chicago Market Board Member, Dana McKinney, for an online session on what it means to be a Board Member for our start-up food co-op. She’ll review what the Board does, the skills that typically make a Board Member successful, the time commitments involved, and what it means to be a “working board” versus a “governing board.” This is a casual discussion session, so bring your questions and we’ll do our best to answer them.
Chicago Market will be hosting our annual Board Elections late this summer, so now’s the time to start thinking about if you’d like to run! RSVP and we'll send you Zoom login info.
If you're not an Owner but would like to join this session, you're more than welcome, but note that our Bylaws require Board members be Chicago Market Owners, so you'd need to become an Owner prior to running.
