Cooperative living embraces the principle that we are a community that works together for the common good. This means each resident plays an active role in supporting their community, and ultimately, each other.

One of the ways in which your Board would like to engage your support and involvement is working with our board committees. There may be an area that peaks your interest or simply you may want to share your talents with a particular committee.

We are outlining the mission statements for the various board committees below:

Budget & Finance Committee:

The mission of the Budget and Finance Committee is to assist shareholders in understanding the oversight, monitoring, review, and governance of the corporation’s budget. To assist shareholders in evaluating the overall financial performance of our organization. And to promote financial stability and accountability to our shareholders and regulating authorities.

Community Center Committee:

The Community center is the hub of social events for the community. The community center committee coordinates and develops special community events for the enjoyment of all shareholders.
