The purpose of the National Risk Management Committee (NRMC) is to monitor and manage the risk related to the UNFI and KeHE Supply Contracts or other group supply contracts in which participating member co-op payments are guaranteed by NCG.
Status & Terms
The NRMC is accountable to all member co-ops participating in relevant group supply contracts and responsible for acting in the best interests of all member co-ops. The committee meets a minimum of four times per year to review quarterly financial key indicators of all member co-ops. The NRMC may hold additional meetings to review monthly financials of co-ops that warrant closer scrutiny and to conduct project reviews.
Committee Structure and Selection
Committee members serve staggered terms beginning October 1. Designated representatives of NCG member co-ops participating in relevant group supply contracts are eligible to serve on the committee. Each corridor elects two DRs to a two-year term. In addition, the CFO appoints two committee members (at-large appointees) to serve three-year terms.
