Notice of Annual Meeting & Election

Mark your calendar for our General Ownership Meeting on Sunday, April 12! Gather with fellow co-op owners and friends, enjoy a light meal, and catch up on the latest co-op news. We’ll share a brief business meeting, a year-in-review, and announce this year’s Board election results. Plus, kids activities will be available — so bring the whole family!

Five seats are open on the Board this year, with a strong group of candidates ready to serve and help guide the future of our co-op. Please review the candidate information, cast your vote, and submit your ballot. You may vote for up to five candidates. Voting opens Monday, March 23 at 5 PM and closes at the start of the Annual Meeting on April 12. If you haven’t already, take a moment to meet the candidates. CLICK ON EACH IMAGE below and learn how they hope to help guide The Grain Train forward.

The Grain Train thrives because of engaged owners like you. Your vote helps shape the direction of your co-op and puts the Second Co-operative Principle — Democratic Member Control — into action.
