Board of Directors monthly meetings are held at the Outpost Central Office at 3200 S. 3rd Street, Milwaukee WI 53207 and begin at 6:00 p.m.

Outpost’s Bylaws describe two types of meetings that occur at the co-op. The first is meetings of owners (Article 3.1). This meeting occurs annually where the board of directors provides our owners with an account of the co-op’s financial and operating status. At times the board may also bring proposals to the owners to change the co-op’s Bylaws or Articles of Incorporation. This meeting is an opportunity for owners to participate by asking questions, debating issues, or bringing any ideas or interests to the board and other owner’s attention.

Owners are always welcome to drop in without prior approval or invitation if they wish to observe the meeting. Owners will need to leave the meeting during closed sessions. If the meeting is scheduled to occur virtually, contact the board two business days ahead of the board meeting for the virtual meeting log in information. Please be prepared to present your owner number. Your ownership will be checked to make sure it is current.

The Board requests that all owners, whether attending the meeting to observe or to present, observe the following:

1. Unless you are on the agenda for a specific topic, you will be considered an observer. This means that it is not appropriate for you to participate by offering your opinions, observations, etc. Board meetings are not considered a venue for questions, answers or commentary. If the board meeting is held virtually, you will be muted until your time on the agenda to present.
2. If you are on the agenda, please plan on making a concise presentation, lasting not more than 5 minutes. The Board runs on a tight timetable for discussion of a variety of issues, and is bound to adhere to that schedule.
3. Please understand that we do not discuss store operations, product choices, hours of operation, employee practices, prices, etc. at these meetings. They are the responsibility of the CEO, Ray Simpkins, who can be contacted through the individual store managers or through communication on Outpost’s website.
