Here are highlights from the April 2024 Wheatsfield Board of Directors meeting:

  • The Board heard updates on outsourced IT, payroll and financials.
  • Planning for the 50th Anniversary Block Party continues. This month’s updates include how event activities will be contained to the parking lot at the front of the store, allowing Northwestern Avenue to remain open during the block party.
  • Conversation began about adopting an additional, eighth cooperative principle that focuses on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). The Board is using the broader National Co+op Grocers’ and other co-ops’ recently adopted DEI principles as reference points.
  • The General Manager reported that year-to-date sales for the current fiscal year are up, at 1.02% above budgeted sales and 3.78% over last year’s sales.
