What does the board of directors do?
A cooperative is a member-owned and member-controlled business, but it is not possible for member-owners to directly make all cooperative decisions. Member maintain control by electing directors (board members) to represent them in much of the operation of the cooperative.
The directors occupy a key position between members and hired management. They are elected volunteers who live in the co-op and want to help make sure their investment is protected. Simply stated, the main purpose of a cooperative board of directors is to set grand strategic goals and develop an overarching vision for the organization. The board comes together to set organizational objectives for upper-level managers, who translate grand strategic goals into more measurable and specific objectives. The board of directors bears the responsibility for moving the organization in a productive direction, as defined by the cooperative's strategic goals.
