Being an HCoop board member is not a particularly intense task, but the tasks performed are essential to the operation of HCoop. This page is incomplete, but should provide an overview of the tasks a board member is expected to perform.

See also AdminPolicies, an orphaned page that contains an earlier attempt at defining the board/administrative duties.

1. General Duties

  • Approving new members as they apply
  • Voting on purging of members with negative balances
  • Setting general HCoop policies
  • Meeting four times a year to discuss financial situation, plans, etc.
  • Authorize purchases
