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.
