4. THE MANAGEMENT
STRUCTURE OF
COOPERATIVES

5. MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE IS COMPOSED OF:
a) The Members;
b) The Board of Directors; and
c) The Hired Management.
“Expressed in the form of analogy, the management of a
cooperative may be likened to a three-legged stool, with the
members, the BOD, and the hired management representing
each of the three legs. The stool is precisely designed to stand on
three legs and will topple down in case any of these is removed.
Such is also the case with coop management. Its usefulness and
stability are contingent on the full support of all the three
components.”

6. RESPONSIBILITY/ROLE OF EACH COMPONENT
 The Members – provide the basic foundations of
the effective management of the cooperative and to
be ever alert and vigilant on problems and
weaknesses in the servicing of their needs.
 The Board of Directors – direct and manage the
cooperative affairs for and in behalf of the
members.
 The Hired Management – actually manage the
cooperative in accordance with the authority
delegated to it by the board of directors.
