A Board of Directors, consisting of 10 elected members and one secretary, represents the members of the Hensall District Co-operative. They are responsible for determining the basic purpose, general direction and major objectives of the organization. They approve all major policies and ensure the achievement of long-term objectives in accordance with general policy direction. The Board also appoints, directs and determines the responsibility of the General Manager.

The Board of Directors meets at least once a month to deal with business matters and to review progress. At year end, they report to the annual meeting of members on the sales, revenues and overall performance of the Co-operative and members vote on the recommended dividend rate.

The directors of the Hensall District Co-op are elected to serve a three-year term of office. The maximum time a director can serve is four continuous full terms or a total of twelve years. Specific zones have not been established for representation on the Board. However, the election of directors from across the trading area is recommended.

The Board of Directors meets the fourth Thursday of each month.
