Our bylaws – the rules by which the Cooperative is governed – were written when the Cooperative was incorporated back in the mid-1960s. It was one of the first tasks of VEA’s first Board of Directors. Bylaws provide a stabilizing influence by laying down a road map for the Cooperative’s actions, including how it will communicate with members, what records must be kept, the governing process, board elections, the rules for approval of contracts, loans, rules for changing the bylaws and other matters.
