The Merc Board of Directors
The Merc Board is comprised of seven co-op owners. We are elected by the general ownership and serve a three-year term. Any Merc owner can run for a board position and anyone interested is encouraged to get involved with our dynamic board. We meet monthly, in the evening.
We never become engaged in store operations. Rather, using our Ends and our policies as guidelines, our task is to consider the big picture. We work closely with the General Manager (GM) who we've hired and who provides us with regular reports on store operations. It is through these reports and self-monitoring that we evaluate our work and that of the GM.
There are currently three standing committees of the board. These include finance, board development, and owner engagement. Each committee is responsible for conducting specific tasks and reporting back to the board for final decisions on recommendations they may make.
Each year the board, through strategic planning, focuses on a specific area of interest for in-depth study. This year the board unanimously expressed a desire to broaden and strengthen owner engagement and to study the unique co-op business model.
