Our Board of Directors
Meet Our Board!
The Monadnock Food Co-op’s Board of Directors plays a vital role in the success and sustainability of our co-op. They provide guidance, strategic planning, and oversight for our co-op. They help ensure the store is run in a way that is financially responsible, socially conscious, and genuinely responsive to the wide interests of our Member-Owners.
The Co-op Board of Directors uses three guiding documents for their work:
1. Articles of Incorporation. These describe who we are, how we are organized, and where our business is located. Any changes must be voted on by Member-Owners.
2. Our By-Laws guide our principles and processes. Any changes must be voted on by Member-Owners.
3. Policy Register. This defines the roles and responsibilities of both the General Manager and the Board of Directors.
Member-Owners are welcome to attend a board meeting. Our board meets on the third Monday of the month from 4:45 – 6:45 pm. We leave time at the beginning of each meeting for Member-Owner feedback and questions. For more information or to RSVP to attend, e-mail [email protected] or the board at [email protected]
Member-Owners in good standing are welcome to run for the Board of Directors. Interested parties should contact Trish Campbell at the board’s email address.
