About Our Meeting Structure

Bushwick Food Coop has one big meeting per month, running on a three-month cycle. It starts with two Committees Meetings, where anyone who is interested can come and discuss issues that concern the coop as a whole. The third month of the cycle is dedicated to a General Meeting, where we vote on proposals that come out of the Committees Meetings or that are made by individual members before the meeting. The General Meeting, therefore, is primarily a forum for decisions, not discussions. Discussions primarily take place at the Committees Meetings.

40 persons or 20% of the membership need to be present (in person or through online voting) for quorum, and for a decision to pass, it needs to get 80% of the votes. If no alternative gets 80% of the vote, a new vote will be taken at the meeting, including only those physically present.

Upcoming Meetings

Check CALENDAR for meeting dates.  Meetings are generally 7-9pm at the Loom home base.
