One of the most important advantages of GWG living: we are organized as a cooperative. This means that every member can play their part – by electing a representative. What duties do the representatives take on? They take on honorary fiduciary duties to our members and influence the development of our cooperative. At the representatives’ meeting, for example, the representatives adopt the annual financial statements and decide whether they agree with the work of the Committee and the Executive Board in the prior business year. The representatives are also responsible for considering how profits should be used.
