Mariposa is governed by an elected Board of Delegates. Elected by Mariposa Member-owners, the Board oversees and evaluates management, reports on the state of the Co-op, and oversees bylaws changes. The Board uses the Policy Governance model, designed in major part to allow for accountability within the organization as a whole while emphasizing innovative leadership to support our overarching mission.
Board meetings are open for all Member-owners to observe.
See the events page for more information.

How to serve on the Board
Mariposa encourages all Member-owners to participate in the elections to help us shape the future of our food co-op. All Board members serve a three year term and Board elections occur annually during the month of March. Any Member-owner can run for the Board and represent the interests, values, and vision for the future of our Co-op community. Elections happen in March every year and all Member-owners are encouraged to get involved!
