Board of Directors
The Board of Directors of Park Forest Cooperative is comprised of five Cooperative members who volunteer their time and talents to ensure efficient operation today and the future stability of the Cooperative. Like any successful corporation, the Board of Directors must know their corporation and be willing to devote many hours to keep up with cooperative trends, legal requirements, and market expectations.
