Co-op members who are interested in helping oversee big picture projects, policies that affect the stores, and membership can apply to serve as a member-at-large on Board committees. Each committee includes Board, staff, and members-at-large. They usually meet 1-2 times a month, and Co-op members earn working member hours for their time spent at meetings and doing committee work. This is a great opportunity to gain greater knowledge of the Olympia Food Co-op, and to help our organization thrive. Current Board committees are listed below, with contact information for each. Member-at-large positions are limited, and may not be currently available for all committees.
