BOARD OF DIRECTORS

WHAT IS A BOARD OF DIRECTORS?

The Board of Directors is elected by the membership to direct the vision of the co-op, oversee policy, and represent our Co-op in the cooperative world. The building and the store itself are managed completely by staff – they’re the experts! The Board’s job is to ensure that obligations to the Co-op members and the staff are being fulfilled. Individual Directors represent the collective membership and guide the cooperative to benefit our community.

MEET OUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS!

These are your member representatives who help make sure the co-op is following its mission statement and ends policy, and help plan the store’s vision. Some members have been involved in the co-op for decades while others have only recently joined.

OUR BYLAWS

Bylaws are an important set of governing agreements in which the member-owners of a cooperative define how they will make certain decisions together and how they will empower a board to make decisions on their behalf.

Read our Bylaws.
