How Our Board Works
Board elections will take place during the AGM.
An elected board of eight directors governs Peg City Car Co-op. Board members volunteer roughly 2-10 hours a month (depending on the time of year). They must contribute to one of four committees.
This year there are four seats up for election, with four incumbents seeking re-election. We are particularly interested in candidates with financial, legal, and business experience. But anyone with the energy and vision for Peg City Car Co-op is encouraged to submit.
Only share-holding members are eligible to sit on the board. Please fill out this nomination form if you want to run for election. We ask that you submit your nomination by May 23. We’re also open to nominations from the floor at the AGM.
