Board of Directors

 

About the Board

City Market, Onion River Co-op's Board of Directors is responsible for steering the direction of the cooperative with the guidance of our Membership. Board members work together to:

  • Define the Co-op's goals (or “Ends”) and monitor performance in relation to the Ends
  • Hire and supervise the General Manager who is accountable to the Board for business operations
  • Set and monitor the policies by which the Board and the General Manager operate

Our Board consists of nine members, elected from the general Membership. Elections are held annually in October, and Directors are elected for a term of three years. Terms begin in January. All current, shareholding Co-op Members may vote in Board Elections.
