Co-op members gathered at three trustee district meetings in late January 2019 to select candidates for the co-op’s board of trustees in Districts 1, 8 and 9.

Incumbents Carl Hagglund (District 1), Jo Ann R. Smith (District 8) and Karen Hastings (District 9) were all nominated without opposition.

Each year, three positions on the co-op’s nine-member board of trustees are up for election. Members within the respective districts select one or two members to be candidates for the board of trustees. These candidates will be voted upon by all members who attend and register to vote at the Annual Meeting on Thursday, March 28 in Keystone Heights. Members can also vote by mail.
