Meet the Board
Whole Foods Co‑op is a consumer-owned cooperative that is wholly owned and governed by the Owners.
The Owners elect a Board of Directors to establish and uphold policies on how the business is run. Through the Ends policy, the Board sets the vision for the cooperative. The Board also sets general policies that define the role and responsibilities of the General Manager who oversees day-to-day operations.
As an Owner, the Whole Foods Co‑op is your store. The success of the Co‑op is your success. You have a voice in your Co‑op’s future through voting in elections, serving on committees, and/or serving on the Board as an elected director.
Run for the Board
Co-op Owners can apply to run for the Board of Directors. Learn about what it’s like to serve on the Board, eligibility requirements, and Board election.
Applications will open in 2027 for the next Board cycle. If you’re interested in running for the Board, attending a Board meeting is a great first step to learn more about Board service.

BOARD MEETINGS
Owners Can Directly Participate in Meetings in the Following Ways
Open Listening Sessions: The first 30 minutes of all Board Meetings are set aside for Owners to present comments or concerns on topics they choose directly to the Board. These listening sessions give the Board the opportunity to hear from Owners and help the Board better understand Owner concerns. Parameters are outlined here.
Items for Discussion: Owners can submit items to be included for discussion at a Board meeting. For consideration, submit your item in writing by the first Friday of the month in which you request the Board’s consideration. Such agenda items will be subject to time constraints at the Board meeting.
Meeting Minutes
Board meetings are typically held at 5:30 p.m. on the 4th Monday of every month at our Denfeld store.
Location and time are subject to change; visit wholefoods.coop/events-calendar for the latest information.
