Structure of the Co-op

Our legal structure is a Co-operative Society.

Our legal structure is a Co-operative Society.

We are a multi-stakeholder co-operative. This means we have several categories of membership and work together to make sure all voices are being heard and that no one group has more power than any other.

There is an elected Board of Directors. Some decisions are delegated to them.

There are three categories of membership:

• User members (Deaf people)

• Worker members (communication professionals including interpreters, lipspeakers, translators, Deafblind interpreters...)

• Investor members

Any decisions that will have consequences should be discussed and voted on by the membership.
