For example, in December of 2011, the board ruled, with no previous announcement or opportunity for member involvement, that members who had been Co-op employees or even job applicants in the last 2 years were NOT eligible to be board candidates.  Well-prepared candidates, including former Co-op board president Bill Beck and local farmer and former board member Margo Kay (who had both applied for Co-op jobs within the last two years) were not allowed to run for election.
