The Consumer Coop Management Association Gathering
Cooperatives are member-owned, member-governed businesses that operate for the benefit of their members and, ultimately, their local communities. In co-ops, members pool resources to bring about economic results that are unobtainable by one person alone. Most simply put, a cooperative is a business voluntarily owned by the people who use it and operated for the benefit of its members. Today co-ops around the world, including the Brattleboro Food Co-op, are guided by seven principles that can be traced back 150 years to a small store in Rochdale, England. These principles that guide our work can be reviewed here: ? Of interest, as I write, is number six: Cooperation Among Cooperatives.
Board Member Steps Down
Denise Glover has stepped down from the Co-op’s Board of Directors. Denise, who until recently was employed at the Co-op as a sub cashier, was serving as a staff director. Our policy is that when staff members leave the Co-op, they must step down from the Board.
The Board has appreciated Denise’s service and perspective as a staff member and, in particular, her active participation on the GM Search Committee. The Board wishes Denise well as she moves on.
