Board of Directors

Food Front’s Board of Directors set long-range goals and make strategic decisions about the co-op’s future.  They also ensure sound management of the co-ops’ resources, and safeguard the interests of our owners.

Specifically, members of Food Front’s board are responsible for hiring, supervising and evaluating the co-op’s general manager; setting acceptable guidelines for store operations and monitoring the results (through a policy governance process); planning for the co-op’s future; approving capital and operating budgets; and recruiting new directors to ensure a well-qualified board. The board is not involved in the daily operations of the store.

Monthly board meetings are open to any interested owners of the cooperative, and are generally held from 5:45 – 8:30pm on the fourth Monday of the month at the Holiday Inn, 2333 Northwest Vaughn Street. Owners who would like to attend should call (503) 222-5658 Ext. 133 or send an email to board@foodfront.coop to confirm date, time, and location of upcoming meetings.

Annual Election

Every fall, Co-op owners elect candidates to the Co-op’s Board of Directors.  The Board sets goals and provides guidance for the organization.  Your participation in Board elections ensures that the Co-op’s development is compatible with your vision.  For more information on Board elections call (503) 222-5658 Ext. 133 or email us at board@foodfront.coop.
