Board of Directors

How it Works...

• La Montaсita Co-op members elect other members to serve on the board. The nine board members spend many hours making sure the Co-op provides what you, the members, want. The Board of Directors also sets goals and provides the vision and guidance for the organization.
• The Co-op board hires a General Manager to manage the business as a whole.
• The General Manager hires and oversees the staff to take care of the co-op for other members.

Regular Board meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at 5:30 PM at Immanuel Presbyterian Church across the street from the Nob Hill store; all members are welcome.   Agendas are posted on the bulletin boards in the stores three days before the meetings.
