The Co-operative Board
The Co-operative Board members are either elected onto the board for a period of 3 years by the Supporters' Co-operative membership during the annual elections or co-opted / invited onto the Board by the Supporters' Co-operative Board should a need arise.
This year (2010) there were six places for election to the Board and two applications - therefore the election was uncontested and the candidates were elected onto the Board without having to hold a ballot. See the 2010 AGM minutes for more details on this.
There are currently 6 elected members of the Co-operative Board. The Board will be setting its priorities for the next 12 months in January 2011.
