CSI’s position on League of Women’s Voters and other non-partisan policital organizations

By on September 28, 2012 in Company News, CSI News

Some of the CSI SCs have been asked by members in leadership positions to have an educational session regarding upcoming ballot measures. Please see CSI’s response:

According to the cooperative principles and Cindy Lamb, CSI Corporate Controller and Fair Housing  expert , The League of Women’s Voters may not make presentations at any of our co-ops. Please have service coordinators refrain from scheduling any groups associated with politics even when they are going to provide refreshments or other incentives that might seem nice for the members.

 

FYI- The same would hold true for religious groups.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Thanks!

Co-op Member Voting Confusion

By on August 17, 2012 in Company News, CSI News

Co-op members are about to attend their annual Management Conference, and Sharon let us know that some of the members are confused about the voting policies as they relate to households.

When members vote at the co-op in which they reside, it is one vote per each head/member.

However, when members vote on corporate matters (for example at the Management Conference on issues like Board of Directors elections or changes to the bylaws), it is one vote per household.

This may come up with a member. The best advice is to refer them to their President for clarification, but at least you know the background.
