The Brattleboro Food Co-op Board of Directors is made up of nine members, at least one of whom (and no more than two) must be a staff member. All board members are elected by the shareholders and are responsible for ensuring that the values, purpose, and mission of the Co-op are properly carried out. The Board hires and oversees the General Manager and provides strategic leadership by:
-
- Focusing on the big picture—envisioning how the Co-op is different from a regular grocery store, and what impact we make in our community
- Listening carefully to our shareholders and translating their needs into a compelling vision
- Engaging shareholders and potential shareholders in understanding our mission as a co-op and providing ways for shareholders to drive co-op results through everyday behaviors and choices
