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.
