The Board meets monthly, and is also involved with Co-op events. Serving on the Board will allow you to learn more about our Co-op, meet many of our member-owners and to work alongside a group of caring and committed people.

All member-owners are welcome to apply to be a candidate for the Board of Directors. BIPOC encouraged to apply. Three seats are up for election. Apply by Monday, August 24, 11:59pm. Voting will commence on October 1, both online and in the store.

It is a 1 year appointment that starts in September of each year and ends in August of the following year according to the Iowa State University school calendar. All student members (both equity and non-equity members) of Wheatsfield Cooperative are eligible to apply for the position.
