BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Run for our Board of Directors!
Are you a UVFC member with a passion for food, community, and co-ops? Then we want you on our board! Apply to be a candidate and you'll be joining an awesome group of people who love the co-op!
Deadline to apply: August 1st, 2025
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.
