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, Planning, and Outreach and Education) meeting typically on the second Monday of the month.
The Board has three primary duties.
To fulfill these responsibilities, the Board of Directors focuses on four key areas:

Run for a Seat on the Co-op’s Board of Directors!
People’s Co-op’s Board of Directors (the board) is made up of member-owners like you. There are two open seats to be filled in the upcoming election, which will conclude at the Co-op’s Annual Meeting in April, 2019.
Qualifications include an interest in the continued success of People’s Co-op, experience working cooperatively in a group, and the willingness and ability to make a regular time commitment. Each director contributes approximately five to ten hours per month for up to a three year term. Most meetings are held on Monday evenings after 5 p.m. A few times a year, directors are required to attend weekend events such as the Co-op’s Annual Meeting and the Co-op’s Owner Appreciation Birthday Party.
The board makes policy and financial decisions to ensure that People’s Co-op remains strong and healthy, and is responsive to the needs of the membership. The board is also responsible for hiring and evaluating the Co-op’s General Manager, who handles the day-to-day operations of the business. Experience on a board, in business or in finance can be helpful, but is not required. Additionally, there are opportunities that may require out of town travel once or twice per year. Travel expenses are funded by the Co-op.
For more information email Jamie Decker at jdecker@obpeoplesfood.coop or Lynn Wade at mldwadw@sdcglobal.net All applications must be submitted in person at the Membership Desk, located on the second floor, no later than 6 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 1, 2018.
