In cooperative firms, where the owners are also the users of the firm, the directors are elected from among the people who use the firm’s products and services. This means that employees govern worker cooperatives, shoppers are the board members of most grocery cooperatives, and farmers are the directors of cooperatively owned agribusinesses.
