The Board of Directors is the governing body for the Owners of Co-op Market. It is composed of seven people, all Owners of Co-op Market, elected by Owners. Elections are held every year. Board terms are 3 years. The board is responsible for ensuring organizational performance on behalf of all of Co-op Market Owners.
The board’s work includes developing clearly stated expectations through written policies; delegating responsibility for, and authority over, the achievement of stated objectives; and monitoring compliance with written policies. The current board has been focusing on three big concerns:
- More Happy People
- More Local Economy
- More Healthy Food
The board governs the organization and delegates all operational duties to one employee, the general manager. We are involved in strategic planning, financial oversight, ownership linkage, and community outreach.
The Board of Directors does not make decisions about, become involved with, or take part in any of the day-to-day activities or decisions regarding the operation of Co-op Market. The board’s sole official connection to the operations of the cooperative is through the general manager.

As a food co-op, we depend upon our Owners to provide leadership by volunteering for board service. Our board members help by crafting long-range strategies for fulfilling our mission while upholding our values and monitoring our progress to ensure we’re moving forward in the right direction.
If you wonder whether board leadership is right for you, please attend one of our regular board meetings on the third Monday of the month. We will also host an “Introduction to the Board” webinar at 5 p.m. before our September 20th meeting.
The board meets the third Monday of every month at 6 p.m. During the COVID-19 pandemic, meetings are virtual, via Zoom. These meetings are open to all Owners. You can access the board meetings at this Zoom link.
