[Update on March 20 – Call for nominations is now completed]

As a cooperative, Modo is dedicated to recruiting board members to ensure our social purpose is met. Serving on Modo’s Board of Directors supports the co-op and represents members’ needs. It’s also a rewarding way to contribute one’s expertise while ensuring Modo’s social purpose is met.

Open Positions

In 2023, there are three (3) three-year term director positions to be filled. All Modo Plus shareholding members are eligible to run for election.

Director Duties and Responsibilities

The ability of directors to contribute to Modo’s success is significant, as is the commitment. Board meetings are quarterly and last approximately three hours, with full attendance expected. Additionally, directors are expected to volunteer to sit on at least one committee. Committees
meet monthly for approximately one hour. Currently, there are four standing committees: Finance and Audit, Governance, Nominations and HR. Reasonable travel costs to attend Board meetings will be covered by Modo.

Modo encourages and welcomes all qualified candidates. We pride ourselves on being an equal-opportunity organization and encourage nominations from all individuals, including those identifying with traditionally underrepresented groups. We are dedicated to maintaining a healthy, productive, and respectful work environment, free from bullying, harassment, and discrimination, and in which all are treated with dignity.

If you are a Modo Plus shareholding member interested in serving on the Board and can fulfill the requirements, we’d like to hear from you.
