Meet the Board
The Isla Vista Food Co-op is currently run by a 9-seat Board of Directors elected by our owners annually. Each Board Member is elected for a 2 year term.
How Our Board Shapes IVFC
The role of the Board of Directors is to provide long-term planning and decision-making for the IVFC on behalf of the ownership. The Board provides oversight of co-op finances and the General Manager, as well as generating, maintaining, and improving policies that govern our cooperative.
IVFC owners can choose to be involved in the governance of the co-op in several ways. Aside from voting in our annual election, co-op owners may also attend Board of Directors meetings, sit on Board committees, or run for the Board!

IV Food Co-op Goes Solar!
In 2017, the co-op entered into an agreement with the climate justice non-profit Re-Volv to supply solar power to our building. Our system generates approximately 25,000-30,000 kWh of power each year which helps to offset the energy demands of our equipment.
