Want to see the Board in action? Chicago Market Board meetings are open to all Owners to observe, and now conducted via Zoom! (accessible on all phones, tablets and computer platforms)

RSVP and we'll email Owners the Zoom login info shortly before the meeting. 

You just need to let us know you'll be coming (by RSVP'ing below!) and whether you'll be needing comment time. (Owners can speak for up to 5 minutes, and we'll be capping comment time to 30 minutes per Board meeting.)

Please send any questions for the Board in advance to [email protected].

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.

We at Chicago Market were proud to host Peterson Garden Project's Ninth Annual Edible Plant Sale this past weekend! In addition to the hundreds of people that came through our location at Wilson & Broadway to purchase organic seedlings, we were able to welcome an awesome 10 new Chicago Market Owners who signed up in support of building a locally-focused, sustainably-minded, and community-connected grocery store in our space!
