Seward Co-op’s 2015 board of directors election culminated at the annual meeting on Oct. 6. The board of directors governs the entire co-op — Franklin store, Friendship store, Creamery Café — and is comprised of nine co-op owners. Through a democratic election, four seats were filled this year. Full results are available here.

Congratulations to Louis Alemayehu, David Hoffman-Dachelet, Joe Riemann and Mary Alice Smalls! Together with five others, these individuals are responsible for articulating the vision and goals for Seward Co-op that management pursues and achieves.

The 2015 election saw a pool of highly qualified candidates. Thank you to all who ran, and all who voted.
