Fellow Black Star Member-Owners, now is a great time to help lead our Co-op! There are three (3) seats open this fall on the Board of Directors.
A few basics: to run for the Board, you must be a fully invested Member-Owner. If you haven’t yet paid your balance, you can do so here.
You also need to have attended at least one Black Star Board meeting within the last year and attend a Candidate Orientation Session. If you haven’t yet been to a Board Meeting, you have a few more chances before the Fall Members’ Assembly meeting on October 16th. Board meetings are usually 12-3pm on the third Sunday of the month; however, check the website in case of any changes. Candidate Orientation Sessions are scheduled for June 19th at 4:00 p.m., July 12 at 7:00 p.m., and August 6th at 4:00 p.m..
To download the board packet, click here. Candidate applications are due August 16th by 11:59 p.m., and voting is from September 15th – October 16th.
As a democratically-governed co-operative, electing our own Board of Directors is a privilege of being a Member-Owner. Running for the Board is your opportunity to bring enthusiasm, ideas, and effort to the Black Star Co-op. If you would like to help the Co-op by crafting policies and principles, representing the best interests of the Member-Owners, and collaborating with the Workers’ Assembly, please download the application, fill it out, and send it to membershiplinkage@blackstar.coop.
