Shape the Future: Co-op GMM 2025

Oct 1, 2025

Internal Update

Thursday, October 30 | 6–7:30pm

Upstairs at Co-op West Main (908 W Main St.) Training Room

Being a Co-op member isn’t just about where you shop. It’s about what you stand for. Every year, members like you come together for our General Membership Meeting (GMM) where we celebrate what we’ve built together, hear what’s ahead, and announce the votes that shape our future.

This is your moment to:

Meet your Board of Directors — the members who guide our mission and ensure we stay true to our values.

Celebrate community wins — from local food partnerships to member-driven initiatives.

Connect with fellow members who believe in good food, good people, and a stronger community.
