Run for the Board of Directors

North Coast Co-op is a member-owned organization run by a Board of Directors. There are seven board members  - five general member-directors and two employee-directors - who are elected for three-year terms. The primary responsibilities of the Board of Directors are to provide overall direction and ensure the long-range security and viability of the Co-op, and to develop policies necessary to carry out the duties of the board and the functions of the cooperative.

We are currently seeking member-owners to fill one member director seats and one employee director seat. These two seats have terms beginning November 2017 and running through October 2020.
