Committees

DACHI committees are made up of volunteers from the membership, in some cases appointed by the board. They deal with various aspects of co-op life, each in a specific area. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to become involved with a committee. Some of them are:

Administrative: assists with the purchase of office equipment, administrative policy, and educating members about how the co-op runs.

Arrears: assists the board in implementing the arrears policy, and works with members in financial difficulty by negotiating repayment agreements.

By-law: revises and develops by-laws as needed. For example, their focus currently is the Occupancy By-law.

Capital Projects: plans and undertakes large renovation projects.

Communications: publishes the monthly newsletter and distributes other information to the membership.

Finance: prepares the annual budget, and monitors spending throughout the year.

Grounds: plans and carries out the upkeep of the grounds and the parking lot.

Maintenance: oversees regular maintenance and implements maintenance policy.

Membership: shows vacant units, interviews applicants and implements various by-law issues around occupancy such as the number of people living in each unit.

Member Education: develops and distributes the Member Handbook and ensures that educational opportunities are available to all members.

On-Call: provides emergency maintenance service to members when staff is not on site.
