Nice job. Former long-time member at Park Slope, NYC, and even got my masters getting into the co-op biz model. Denmark invented wind turbines with artisans after anti-nuke protests, and then it was wind co-ops there that were mostly buying the turbines for years. Come to think of it, a few other co-ops in addition to mine were/are 100% RE. Besides local and quality organic agro, there are diverse benefits for the community, and beyond. Way to go!
James Chuaycham Board members, elected by all owners, represent the owners and are responsible for the success of the co-op. They usually hire a GM, delegate responsibility for store operations to the GM and set policies to guide her/him. The bylaws adopted by the co-op will define how owners can bring issues to a vote and if owner approval is required for major decisions (typically for dissolution, for example.)

Fast forward 13 years. The cost of living is ridiculous. This is great.
This was very informative especially for people who don't know what a co-op is.
We need this in Tulsa ok
Great vid. Thank you
Good general overview .. Thanks
Can all 1000K+ members vote on new decisions, or just the board members?
