Each year, Calgary Co-op asks its member-owners to nominate fellow member-owners to stand for election to the Board of Directors. All who meet the minimum qualifying criteria may go forward on the election ballot. The nomination and election process helps our Calgary Co-op achieve strong and balanced leadership with the right mix of skills, experience and attributes.
As a Calgary Co-op member, you may vote for up to three candidates each year during the election period. We all play an important role in electing members to our Board because a great Board is needed to oversee our growing $1.3 billion co-operative. Together as members, we make the final decision about who is elected.
Help steer one of Canada’s largest retail co-operatives. Calgary Co-op is seeking to fill three positions on our Board of Directors.
