Why Run For the Board?

Here’s what our Board of Directors say about Board service:

• “There is much to learn about how the Co-op operates. It is so interesting.”
• “Join the Board–it’s educational & fun; get involved and see how the Co-op works.”
• “Being on the Co-op Board is my favorite way of giving back to the community.”
• “Service on the Board is an opportunity to contribute to an important institution in our community while working with some wonderful people.”
• “It is an opportunity to work with a group of people who are incredibly invested in the future of Brattleboro and our community–not just the Coop itself. It is a real opportunity to contribute to something good, with good people.
• “Serve while learning.”
• “You’ll be surprised how much you learn!”
• “I am so committed to the health and success of the BFC, and this gives me an opportunity to participate in a deep and authentic way.”
• “Participation in cooperative governance allows us to learn about ourselves and to better cultivate skills that allow for respectful discourse, deep listening, and compromise.”
