Interested in becoming a Co-op member? Stop by our Grocery Store for a form!
As a co-op member, you're actually one of the owners of the co-op. Your primary responsibility is to support the co-op by purchasing as many of the goods and services you need from the co-operative. If you owned a shoe store, you wouldn't buy shoes at your competitor's store, would you?
Members are encouraged to:
 |
provide comments and suggestions |
|
attend general and annual meetings |
|
vote for members of the Board of Directors to represent their views |
|
accept nominations to serve on the Board of Directors |
|
serve on permanent and ad hoc committees created by the Board of Directors |
|
promote the co-operative to friends and family |
Members purchase shares which go toward acquiring or improving the co-op's physical installations.
Co-ops don't belong to any one person. They depend on the support of hundreds and thousands of households like yours. They are businesses for people and are administered by those same people. So unlike most other grocery stores that are owned by large corporations controlled by profit-seeking investors, Co-ops are owned and operated by local people, just like you.
