Natural Food Co-op Board
The Natural Food Co-op is governed by an elected Board of Directors. Seven NFC owners, elected by the ownership, are on the board at any given time.
The Board has three primary duties.
To ensure sound management of the co-op
To act as trustees on behalf of the ownership
To set long-range goals and plan for the future
To fulfill these responsibilities, the Board of Directors focuses on four key areas:
Hiring
Financial oversight
Long-range strategic planning
Recruitment of replacement directors
Directors act in accordance with the Code of Ethics and Conduct. The Board also oversees elections and recommends updates to the Articles and Bylaws, the legal documents that define and guide the co-op. Directors must look after the best interests of the co-op as a whole in a changing business environment. That means that policies and practices at the co-op may change over time.
You can contact the Board directly by emailing board.nfc@gmail.com

Arlene Groskreutz, Nick Olson, Cindy Haugland, Jane Sogge, Sam Schroeder, Tracy Thielen, and Mark Anema
