Committees

“Because we live at Cardinal Pointe, we feel much safer now. We have committees we can join to be a part of any aspect of co-op living. We have a say in anything that affects us all. Cardinal Pointe is a caring and happy place to live.” ~Joyce & Wayne J.

Cardinal Pointe has seven active standing committees: Finance, Interiors/Furnishings, Marketing, Activities/Socials, Property, Communications/Technology and Education/Information. The committees oversee a variety of areas and provide an opportunity for members to participate and to become involved with the “inner workings” of the cooperative.
