It is important that our members have the opportunity to tell us what matters to them and to share their experiences as a member. There are two easy ways for you to do this. Either go onto the members' forum or email us your views.

Membership
The Midcounties Co-operative, is a business owned by its members. The members elect a Board of Directors who ensure that:
- High quality services are delivered to our members and customers.
- We respect the environment and trade to the highest ethical standards.
- Support is given to our local communities.
Our members have the opportunity to tell us what is important to them, and we listen to and act on their comments.
By working with our members we make changes for the better, guided by our values and principles, we encourage new ideas to tackle issues that are important to our members.You control your membership. You can be involved as much or as little as you like. From simply using the society's businesses, to becoming a Board Director.
As an organisation that is owned by its members, co-operation is central to our purpose. Our members decide what percentage of profits are returned to the members and to the local community. The AGM and the regional Half yearly members' meetings are a key way that members can have a say in the running of their Society. And of course any member is encouraged to use their vote in the Society's annual elections in the autumn, when members like you contest places for the Society's Board of Directors.
This section tells you a bit more about what membership means and why it matters in our co-operative. It also gives you an overview of what we do to promote co-operation to our members and in our communities, as well as to politicians and opinion formers.
