Getting Involved: The Key To A Strong Co-op

Eight Oaks is managed by five main committees, as well as a board of directors.

The committees are:

  • Membership
  • Maintenance & Gardening
  • Finance
  • Policy
  • Social
  • Long Term Planning

Members agree to participate fully in the operation of the co-op through active participation in at least one committee. This includes helping during work parties, doing a weekly chore, and generally helping when things need to be done (like shoveling snow or raking leaves).

Participation in our community keeps housing charges down and fosters a sense of ownership. Each member is encouraged to attend meetings, voice their opinions, and vote on decisions which affect the co-op.
