As a local cooperative, we are governed by a Board of Directors elected by member0owners through a nomination and voting process at the cooperative’s Annual Meeting, held each January. The Directors provide leadership and a vision for the cooperative’s leadership and employee team to carry out.
The Board of Directors are a crucial factor in the success of their co-op. They must clearly understand their role to effectively serve the member-owners who elect them.
There are five key areas in with board members are involved:
- Leadership/Planning
