Annual Election
The Viroqua Food Co+op is owned by nearly 5,000 people from the Viroqua area and surrounding communities. We are democratically controlled by our owners through an owner-elected board of directors.
The co-op board consists of seven seats, all serving three-year terms. The terms are staggered to add continuity to our leadership structure.
