Forum: Define Our Shared Co-op Values
January 7, 2025 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
What you value matters! Please join us to define our shared Co-op values
The Board is exploring what values Co-op member-owners hold most dear. These will serve as
a guidepost for future decisions and priorities.
As you may know, the Board is in the midst of re-evaluating our “Ends” policies. Under our
system of governance, Ends policies are specific goals the Board provides to the General
Manager with regard to running the organization. We have come to realize that a broader set of
ideas – our shared values – would help balance and guide these operational targets.
We request your assistance in defining our shared Co-op values.
Please join in one or more upcoming Open Forum discussions:
Tuesday, Jan. 7 at 7 p.m. virtual
Saturday, Jan. 18 at 10 a.m. in person at our Community Room, 170 Main St., Greenfield
You may also:
- Send us your thoughts directly: values@franklincommunity.coop.
- Tell us what role you feel co-ops in general and FCC specifically should play today? What do
you care most about?
For more information on this initiative, please see the upcoming issue of the New Beet.
Events on our calendar are either happening at one of our stores and organized by our co-op, an event sponsored by the Co-op, or an event at which we are tabling to provide information.
Franklin Community Co-op is an inclusive, community-supportive cooperative. As such, we ask that groups considering using our meeting spaces respect our desire to preserve and provide safe spaces for all members of our community, with the understanding that we reserve the right to preserve that safety by denying access to those groups that would abuse that commitment. Additionally, we reserve the right to cancel scheduled events or room usage in the event of weather emergencies, flooding, or other structural concerns that would endanger the lives of our employees and guests.
