Equity Membership

Equity membership refers to holding a share or ownership stake in an organization, typically a cooperative, mutual company, or professional association. It signifies that the member has invested financially in the organization and may have voting rights or influence over decisions. Equity members often share in the company's profits or losses based on their ownership percentage. This type of membership provides both a stake in the organization’s success and a voice in its governance, aligning members' interests with the long-term health and direction of the organization.
