MEMBER SERVICES MANAGER
Owner Opportunities

by Lynn Olson, Member Services Manager

In an effort to more aptly describe the contributions made by our member/owners, the name of the Volunteer program has been changed to “Owner Participation Hours.” Please note that, other than the name, nothing else has changed about the program including our respect and admiration for the many folks who regularly assist us in keeping the store running smoothly and looking good. Member/owners will still be afforded the opportunity to work in the store in exchange for the regular discounts. Non-equity paying members are still encouraged and allowed to participate in the program and there are no plans to change this feature.

Those interested in participating at their Co-op are encouraged to fill out an “Owner Participation” form located at the Customer Service desk and regular (required) orientation sessions are scheduled for the third Thursday of every month (the next session is Thursday, July 15th) at 5:00pm and lasts approximately 45 minutes. For more information on the Owner Participation Hours, please contact Member Services at 251-0884 x320.
