[SWANboard] FW: perhaps SWAN is a cooperative without the emphasis on profit

Hi All, For item #10 on the agenda tomorrow, I would like to talk about the links below. They deal with Cooperatives and this is the information that Jamie provided us at the September board meeting. http://www.uwcc.wisc.edu/whatisacoop/ http://www.uwcc.wisc.edu/issues/Governance/ Please read the sections on what is a co-op, types of cooperatives, business structure comparison and governance. I would like to address item A-How do Swan board members see the organization. I hope your day is going well and I will see you tomorrow morning. Rich Richard A.
