In 2012, the International Year of Cooperatives, the Community Food Co-op’s Board of Directors created a 10-year Strategic Plan.
The plan was updated in 2018 and the Board now has seven long-range goals and a set of strategies for how the Co-op can best serve the member-owners and the community in the years ahead.
