One Person  One Vote Each member has an equal vote. This means that no member has more control of the co-op than any other member.  We use our votes  to elect a Board of Directors  to make important decisions  It is important for all members to attend the Annual Meeting of the co-op. At the annual meeting, the board of directors and the members decide on the goals of the co-op for the coming year.
