The chair- Bruce Richards stayed for only 20 mins

The secretary- Abigail Shipley stayed for 40 mins

Aproximately 5 petition signers spoke their concerns regarding the removal of Nourishment as a vendor, market staff not checking in on vendors, ageism of market staff towards older vendors, degradation in community vibe at the market.

Unclear as to what the board chair will do with what was shared.

Note- it was by stating that some of us would attend the board meeting that the special listening session was held.

Next steps-

• I will wait 1 week and as needed I'll follow up with Abigail and Bruce
  • I will post anything shared with me via an update
• You consider applying to be on the Hollywood Farmer's Market Board
  • Note this is a 3 year commitment
