Weavers Way Board of Directors?
Learn how to apply below!

The purpose of the Weavers Way Board is to govern and guide the Co-op on behalf of the members. Responsible and constructive oversight has a critical impact on the vitality of the Co-op.

The Board encourages other members to run for the Board, especially those who:

  • Are visionary — who can see past the way things are now, and see what might be.
  • Are conceptual thinkers — who have the ability to see issues in their proper context; to see which principles an issue or event falls under.
  • Grasp the big picture — who are adept at putting each issue into a perspective guided by a larger view.
  • Are connected to the ownership — who are committed to seeking out, listening to, and learning from members’ ideas, opinions and values and principles regarding Weavers Way.
  • Demonstrate moral courage — who are willing and able to stand up and speak out even when it is uncomfortable.
  • Can work in a group — who are capable of working through differences, and respect diverse points of view; can allow others to lead; and can accept responsibility and delegate authority.

The Board is continually assessing the relevance of its policies and how effective they are at achieving the goals of the Co-op
