About
A special task force to examine questions surrounding the 2007 Board elections was proposed by employee-owner Geoff Gilson in 2007 in two emails to Weaver Street Market Board Chair Jacob Myers (one, two). In November of 2007, the Weaver Street Market Board of Directors agreed to convene a task force consisting of worker-owners and consumer-owners to consider and report the Board on issues in two areas:
- options for the creation of a clear set of rules for Board elections
- potential strategies for increasing voter turnout
The task force began meeting in late January of 2008, and met weekly for seven weeks (notes from the meetings are available online, below).
