The principal office of the Co-op in the State of Wisconsin shall be the store location in the City of Madison, County of Dane, at 1202 Williamson Street. 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 the Cooperative or non-profit corporation which is a member may designate a representative to vote that 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.
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 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 By-laws.
