What They Do

Our Board of Directors is elected by the PFC membership to represent them in setting policy and supervising the operations of the co-op. At PFC each member has one vote.

PFC’s Board operates under Policy Governance structure. The Board leaves operational considerations to the General Manager and co-op staff, while focusing on the policies and vision of the organization.

Directors serve three-year terms; Board seats rotate so there is always a mix of incoming and experienced Directors. PFC’s Board has seven members: 3 Directors, a Secretary, a Treasurer, a Vice-President and a President. Board officers are nominated and appointed by the Board.

Elections for our Board of Directors take place early in the year. Check for signs in the store and announcements in the PFC Connection newsletter.

Board Meetings

PFC’s Board generally meets on the third Tuesday of the month -subject as always to occasional one-time shifts to accommodate events.

Board meeting agendas are posted in the front of the store. To view the minutes of past Board meetings, visit PFC’s administrative offices (under the store) between 9am – 4pm weekdays. A staff member will show you the minutes folder.

Members are encouraged to participate in the co-op’s decision-making process and to attend Board meetings. Time is set aside for public comments at the start of each meeting, and members may also join discussions. Should some background reading be helpful to you, copies of the minutes and information packets from previous board meetings are available at the PFC office (734-769-0095, 9am-4pm weekdays).

If you have a topic you would like the Board to consider, notify the President of the Board. The deadline for member requested agenda itsems is two weeks before the scheduled meeting. Contact president@peoplesfood.coop for more information and to ask if there is room on the agenda.
