Annual shareholders meeting coming up. Current board members are OK but I'm not keen on voting for them and I'm not keen on running either. What do I do if I don't want to vote for them but they are running unopposed?
They are running unopposed so your vote will not make a difference. If you vote no they will know you tried to vote them out. They could make your life miserable because of it. Decline to vote and they won't have a clue as to how you feel. You have to protect yourself, the board where I am are vengeful and tenants fear them. They don't get voted out because no one wants the job. With this knowledge they do as they please and it is a dictatorship. I have no respect for the people here. I tried to run for the board and they imposed new rules regarding this. They would not let me post on the billboard and tore my notices down. Don't let them know you are not happy, these people like to be stroked. I am sure there are exceptions, but it is better to keep your cards close to your chest.
Is there a real community mindset in the cooperative in the first place? Do shareholders take an active interest in their cooperative? People are so busy working and caring for their day to day needs they forget this is their money (investment). If you don't take an active interest in your investment you are hurting yourself down the line.

This is just like real life politics - if you don't vote, then you have no right to complain.
If you don't want the current Board to run unopposed, then you have 2 options:
1) Run yourself
2) Convince someone else to run
It's easy to criticize from afar. Step up to the plate and do something about the situation if you're not satisfied. Other than that, stop complaining, especially on this website.
