PAGE Cooperative is designed to minimize the cost of operations for the members who are also the owners of PAGE?
Committees
As a member-owned cooperative, PAGE relies on its members for direction. Six membership committees play a major role in the inner-workings of the PAGE Cooperative.
The committees are comprised of volunteer members as well as PAGE staff and have various missions including researching the purchasing needs of the PAGE Cooperative members, identifying suppliers, negotiating special purchasing agreements, sharing best practices, and reviewing PAGE suppliers. The committee members receive no compensation but are reimbursed for travel expenses related to PAGE business.
Large Member Committee
The Large Member Committee meets once a year and focuses on the needs of newspapers over 50,000 circulation. The committee suggests and interviews new suppliers as well as sharing best-practices with the PAGE membership.
Marketing Committee
The Marketing Committee helps PAGE focus on the needs of our membership and makes recommendations on how PAGE can better reach its target audience. The Committee meets on an as-needed basis. Committee members include:
