At a regular meeting of the board on June 15, 2010 the New Orleans Food Cooperative adopted these revised bylaws:

Bylaws 6/15/10 (click to download)

The revisions were intended to give the membership of the cooperative more control over governance by reducing the percentage of members required to compel the board to call a special meeting for a membership vote. They also make it possible for all votes to be conducted by post or email ballots, hopefully increasing the participation of the membership in the governance of the organization. Also, the terms of board members has been increased from one year to three years. These terms will be staggered so that only a few new directors will be elected each year, creating more continuity on the board.

Please follow the link below to our previous bylaws, if you are interested in comparison.
