Fast forward 13 years. The cost of living is ridiculous. This is great.

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!

Can all 1000K+ members vote on new decisions, or just the board members?

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.)
