52nd Annual Owner Meeting: Reconnecting in Community
Thank you to all who joined us for the return of the in-person Annual Owner Meeting on Oct. 24, 2023. For the first time in three years, we gathered to share the results of the board of directors’ election and for the announcement of all grant recipients for 2024, including SEED, the Seward Community Fund, and People Powered Perks. We also gave another warm welcome to Ray Williams as Seward Co-op’s General Manager. Throughout the event, attendees enjoyed a chili feast with three different kinds of chili made by the Seward Co-op Deli, as well as cornbread and cookies from Seward Co-op’s bakery. A number of Community Foods producers visited as well, mingling with attendees and handing out samples. The Annual Owner Meeting also marked the first time we shared our beautiful new 50th anniversary book with the public. More will be made available for Seward Co-op shoppers in the coming weeks.

An integral piece of the annual meeting is announcing the board of directors election results. Congratulations to Warren King and Fartun Weli, who were both elected to three-year terms. Together with current directors, these co-op owners are responsible for articulating the vision and goals for Seward Co-op that management pursues and achieves. The 2023 election featured a pool of highly qualified candidates. Thank you to all who ran and all who voted.
During the annual meeting, the 2023 Scorecard was made available.
