Your Board of Directors serves to help guide Good Foods Co-op toward the future.
The three main functions of the Board are (1) to ensure the sound management of the Co-op’s resources, (2) to act as representatives on behalf of the owners, and (3) to plan for the future of the business. Our Board hires and oversees the General Manager, and the General Manager supervises the operation of the business. Our owners have a direct say in how the business is run by electing the Board, voicing their opinions, and choosing to attend monthly board meetings. The nine-member Board of Directors is made up of elected owners who serve staggered three-year terms.

What Does a Board Meeting Look Like?
Our Board follows a Policy Governance structure, which is different from many traditional board formats. In Policy Governance, daily operations and decision making (the means) are left to the General Manager while the board oversees the General Manager and focuses on the overarching goals (the ends).
