PFC Board
About our Board!Mission Statement
The People’s Food Co-op of Ann Arbor provides our community with accessible, sustainable, local food and household products as an economically just, member-owned business.
PFC’s board of directors is elected by the membership to represent them in setting policy and supervising the operations of the Co-op in accordance to its bylaws.
PFC’s board operates under Policy Governance structure, using the Carver model. The board empowers the general manager and co-op staff to work on the day to day operations of the Co-op, while focusing on the policies and broader vision of the organization.
Directors serve three-year terms; board seats rotate so there is always a mix of incoming and experienced directors. Board officers are nominated and appointed by the Board.
Elections for our board take place early in the year. Check for signs in the store and announcements in the PFC Connection newsletter. Click here for more information on board elections.
