Board of Directors March Meeting
We hope you're all safe and well. The March 31 meeting of Seward Co-op's Board of Directors will be held remotely and entirely in executive session. This is due to the co-op’s priority of practicing social distancing, and the board’s need to learn about and discuss impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our cooperative business. As the board of the co-op, we understand that Seward Co-op owners may have questions and concerns at this time, and we do want to be connected with you. The board is working hard to figure out what is best for the long-term future of our co-op in such unprecedented times.
We appreciate your understanding that holding our board meeting this month in executive session will be most helpful for us to do our work in critical times. We have scheduled a virtual listening session with Seward Co-op owners on Wednesday, April 1 from 6–7:30 p.m. Please stay connected with what is happening at the co-op through our website, social media and e-newsletters.
