Board of Directors

July, 2020
A Message from our Board of Directors

     Thank You. Thank You. Thank You. The Board of Directors wants to thank all of our member- owners and shoppers for your support, patience and understanding over the last few months. We know that this time period has been very stressful for our community, the country and the world. The staff and board have strived to make your shopping experience as safe as possible. This may have made your shopping experience a little more time consuming.
     Physical distancing and limiting the number of shoppers in the Co-op are good actions to take to protect people’s health, but are not always conducive to an efficient and comfortable shopping experience. We thank you for accepting these changes and for your continued support of your Cooperative. We will continue to make safety our primary concern as we make your shopping experience at People’s more enjoyable. The expansion of shopping hours and the opening of the upstairs Deli for hot food, soups, salads, sandwiches, bakery items, and fresh juices for take-out are examples of the Cooperative’s efforts to help you meet your nutritional needs. The Cooperative will continue to do this as we follow regulations issued by the municipalities and focus on the safety of our employees, member-owners and shoppers. Thank you again for your past support and your continuing support in the future,

People's Board of Directors

Ocean Beach People's Organic Food Market is governed by an elected Board of Directors. Nine member-owners of People's (six consumers and three workers) are elected by the ownership. The Board meets monthly, typically on the third Monday of the month, with Board committees (Finance, Governance, and Outreach and Education) meeting typically on the second Monday of the month.

The Board has three primary duties.
  • To ensure sound management of the Co-op
  • To act as trustees on behalf of the membership
  • To set long-range goals and plan for the future

To fulfill these responsibilities, the Board of Directors focuses on four key areas:
  • Hiring and evaluating Co-op management
  • Financial oversight
  • Long-range strategic planning
  • Recruitment of potential directors​
