Ok, in response to baldass_newbie's considered criticism, I will reformulate the question:
I have noted you are incorporated as a non profit. Does Colorado permit incorporation as a shareholder cooperative (many farm-belt states allow this)? If so, did you investigate this as an option?
Its not on the front page of the FAQ. The FAQ is what we were directed to read, in order to avoid redundant questions.
I didn't know whether you had a nervous disorder or whether you are just plain rude. I thought I would be charitable and assume you did not have complete control over your faculties, as in polite society people do not correct an honest mistake with a string of obscenities. Doing so is usually considered a sign of a mental disorder.
You have answered my question. You really are just plain rude.
Read the fucking page, would you? It's right on the first fucking page.
Click a link, it's not that fucking tough.
Oh, its buried under the "startup costs" link. Sorry I didn't review the FAQ in enough detail to find this information buried here.
I will try hard in the future not to provoke your Tourette's Symdrome . I will try to understand how hard it is for you to keep your uncontrollable outbursts of obscenity under control.
There is treatment for this condition. You should consider seeking it.
How is you coop incorporated? As a non-profit or as a shareholder coop?
Did you investigate the pros and cons of different incorporation models?
Any ideas/suggestions for someone else doing this?
Did you get any assistance from national co-op organizations? If so, were they helpful?
How is your coop governed? Do you hold annual member meetings? Are there other mechanisms for shareholder participation?

Been going downhill, oh, for about 150 years now. Should have hit bottom long ago.
