As local members of Main Market, we value your ideas and support. Cooperative groceries operate based on a strong backbone of Mission & Values, the Bylaws and the International Cooperative Principles

 

Part of the Main Market story is about improving access to quality food and grocery in downtown Spokane and the region.  Equal energy is invested in just how we deliver those goods and services.

 

We seek relationships with other community organizations that assist us in helping the underserved populations that also deserve delicious, healthy food and solid employment.

  

We respect our business partners on the block and maintain hours and services that help us all succeed together.

 

We encourage our community to support ways to live that are sustainable, healthy and nourishing to themselves and our larger community.  The Mission & Values of Main Market communicate those goals.


The Main Market Board of Directors will begin taking applications in Fall 2010 to serve on the Board of Directors.

All active Main Market Co-op members who may be interested in applying for the Board of Directors of Main Market Co-Op are encouraged to review the application below, attend co-op events this summer and be on the lookout for an informational meeting that begins the formal process.

This process is conducted by the Nominations Committee, a sub committee of the full Board of Directors. The committee is comprised of current Board members and fellow co-op members.

Our By-laws guide the nominations process:
 

  • Any member in good standing is eligible to apply for a position on the nine member Board of Directors
  • The term is three years, with the possibility of serving a second three year term
  • Any active member can nominate another member as a candidate for the Board, or nominate him-or-herself
  • Elections will be held at the annual meeting of members in early Spring
  • Applications must be received 120 days prior to the annual meeting and will be due by November 15, 2010

 
Our calendar of events is here

You can also participate on one of our ‘Lend a Hand’ volunteers committees, which help the co-op thrive in many ways and would provide a great way to get to know more of your co-op community.  Email mmclendahand@gmail.com for more information.
