All the candidates for the Board of Directors were asked a series of questions to help the Owners of Chicago Market make an informed decision. Here are their responses:

Did you miss our Annual Meeting on August 30th? We've got you covered! Chicago Market Board members will be available for a brief recap and additional question-and-answer session on September 3rd. Plus, we'll have a video recording of the Annual Meeting you can review in advance. This event is open to all Chicago Market Owners.

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

Please send any questions for the Board in advance to board@chicagomarket.coop.

Join us for an online event to meet the candidates for Chicago Market's upcoming 2020 Board of Directors election! The event will be a hosted panel discussion with the candidates and a chance for Owners to get to know who will be running for the open Board seats. Jen Vest, past Chicago Market Board Member, will moderate and field questions from the Owners for the candidates.

Our election will take place through an online voting tool and begins immediately after the Annual Meeting on Sunday, August 30th. This is YOUR Co-op... As an Owner, we would love for you to be an informed voter for the Board of Directors and help us move our project forward towards our vision of creating a better food community - local, sustainable, connected.

In accordance with our Bylaws, the Board may propose Bylaw amendments for Ownership to approve. There are three amendments that will appear on Owner ballots this year. Voting will open just after our Annual Meeting on August 30, 2020 and all Owners will receive voting instructions via email at that time. 

Below are the amendments and reasoning for each. 

At our July 22, 2020 Board meeting we heard directly from our operational feasibility pros at Firebrand. If you missed it, the full video (minus a minute we missed of the intro) and a brief synopsis are below.
