This is the ad-hoc committee born at the 2006 Membership Meeting of the Durham Food Co-op dedicated to trying to figure out how we got where we are, if and how we can turn things around, and what our options are if it seems we can't.

In other words, I foresee the main tasks as being:
To examine and assess the current financial structure of the co-op and recent financial history to determine the feasibility of a financial overhaul and the necessary areas of focus.
To carefully construct, based on these findings, a model under which our co-op could prosper.
To research different options for gracefully bowing out of our current business, from radically changing our business plan (such as it is) to filing for bankruptcy.

Our findings will be presented at a membership meeting June 4th.

Any member is welcome to join - the more the better! - but we especially need folks versed in finance, real estate, law, and business.

Getcher slide rules out, kiddos.
