When UFA celebrates its centennial in 2009, I believe our co-operative will be even stronger than it is today.

UFA Democratic Structure

How does your co-operative govern?

Our co-operative is governed first, by member-owners who elect delegates. And in turn, by delegates who elect the UFA Board of Directors. The board is responsible for appointing a UFA Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Secretary. These officers are a part of the senior management team lead by the CEO.
  1. To be eligible to vote and elect delegates, member-owners must have a $5 UFA membership and
    1. Have spent $2,500 with UFA in the previous year or
    2. Have $2,000 in equity.
  2. Member-owners who are eligible to vote are also eligible to run for board positions.
  3. All delegates will vote for all directors.
  4. UFA Board of Directors will expand from nine positions to twelve.
This process and Board structure reflects the responsibility that board directors have for the success of UFA as a whole, regardless of their geographic district and the increasing complexity and competitive nature of UFA business.
