Board Meetings
All co-op owners are invited to attend monthly board meetings, held at the co-op, promoting transparency and accountability of the board with co-op owners.
Early in the agenda, the board reserves ten minutes of space to hear from owners who wish to address the board.

About the Board
The Merc Co+op’s Board of Directors is made up of seven co-op owners elected by the ownership to serve three-year terms. Any co-op owner is eligible to run for a board position.
The Board acts on behalf of co-op owners, responsible for guiding the overall vision of the co-op and monitoring progress toward that vision. To support this work, the board establishes policies that govern both themselves and the General Manager. The board works closely with the General Manager, who provides regular reports on store operations, including finances, customer satisfaction, and more.
