Our Cooperative Principles

As a worker-owned cooperative, we adhere to the seven cooperative principles that guide our business and our relationships with our members and community.

1

Voluntary & Open Membership

Our cooperative is open to all who want to join and are willing to accept the responsibilities of membership.

2

Democratic Member Control

Each member-owner has an equal say in how we run our business—one member, one vote.

3

Member Economic Participation

Members contribute equitably to, and democratically control, the capital of the cooperative.

4

Autonomy & Independence

We are an independent organization controlled by our members, not outside investors.

5

Education & Training

We provide education and training for our members, elected representatives, and employees.

6

Cooperation Among Cooperatives

We work together with other cooperatives to strengthen the cooperative movement.

7

Concern for Community

We work for the sustainable development of our communities through policies accepted by our members.
