Either member may cast that membership's vote or serve on the Board of Directors. The Co-op shall have one class of members. Any human individual or other cooperative or non-profit corporation shall qualify to be a member. The board of directors of a cooperative or nonprofit corporation which is a member may designate a representative to vote cooperative's vote. Anyone may become a member of the Co-op by completing a membership application and paying the fees required by the Fair Share plan, and any other fees approved by the membership from time to time.
All memberships are to be renewed each year.
A membership is renewed by paying the fees under 4.2, and, after they are fully paid, by making a purchase once each calendar year. People who do not renew their membership shall no longer be members of the Co-op. At the time membership terminated, the member may request a refund according to the procedure in 8.14 and 8.15. However, former members may renew membership within three years of the expiration date in the membership record and still retain their equity. No member may transfer a membership or any right arising therefrom, except as provided for in these bylaws.
