Purpose of Annual Meeting

Recap on Fiscal Year 2022-2023

Our Annual Member Meeting is a special event that brings together our three intersection co-op cultures – board, management, and co-op members – to celebrate our past fiscal year, July 1, 2022 - June 30, 2023. The meeting will review a financial summary and the changes and accomplishments of the fiscal year.

Democratic Member Control

Elect New Board Members: As members, you will elect our new Board of Directors to shape our collective future, as well as participate more actively in our co-op for an enhanced experience. Voting will take place prior to meeting, with the elected members announced during the meeting.
Submit Community Voices: This event can be considered the primary opportunity for co-op members to connect with other members, hear directly from the Board and Management Team, and provide input on co-op issues.

Board of Directors Election

Elect New Board Members

Every year, co-op members elect new board members for two-year terms. Each membership household will place one vote to elect up to five candidates who best reflect their values and visions for the co-op. The member-elected candidates will then join our standing board members to represent our community in overall governance.

Eligibility to Vote:

Membership: Only current CTC residents with an active co-op membership are eligible to cast their votes.
Membership is open to all resident households. To become a member, submit your application, pay the current membership fee set by the Board, and ensure your status is recorded in our membership records. Learn more + become a member.
One Vote Per Household: Each household receives one ballot, which will be emailed a week prior to the meeting, delivered only to the primary email address belonging to the household's primary resident. The primary resident should submit the ballot before the meeting, representing the collective voice of the household. Which email will receive my household's ballot?
- Deadline: Ballots must be submitted by 6:15 pm on the day of the meeting for the vote to be counted.
Active Membership Cut-off: Only members as of November 6, 2024, at 5:00 pm (CST) are eligible to vote. No ballots for non-members or those joining after this date.
