    Co-op Principles<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n
    \n

    Democratic Control<\/h4>\n

    Members control their co-op. Together they set by-laws and policies, make decisions and elect leaders who report to them. Each member of a co-op has one vote. All members have an equal say in managing their co-op.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n

    Independence<\/h4>\n

    All agreements that co-ops sign with outside organizations or governments should leave the members in control of their co-op.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Open Membership<\/h4>\n

    Co-op membership is open to everyone who needs the services of the co-op and who accepts the responsibilities of membership. The board of directors must not discriminate against anyone and must respect human rights.<\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Economic Participation<\/h4>\n

    All members contribute fairly to the co-op which they own in common. Co-ops pay a limited return (if any) on money that people paid to become members. The co-op holds any surplus for the future or uses it to improve the co-op’s services.<\/p>\n
