Board Meetings
All co-op owners are invited to attend monthly board meetings, promoting transparency and accountability with co-op owners. Early in the agenda, the board reserves ten minutes of space to hear from owners who wish to address the board.
About the Board
The Merc Co+op's Board of Directors is comprised of nine co-op owners who are elected by the general ownership and serve a three-year term. Any co-op owner can run for a board position.
The board creates a set of policies to govern themselves and the General Manager, who provides the group with regular reports on store operations. The board delegates all operational matters to the General Manager.
