The General Assembly is the highest decision-making body for the cooperative. The Cooperative Law and Articles of Association stipulate that it must be held at least once per fiscal year, and a regularly held General Assembly is called an "Ordinary General Assembly."
At the Ordinary General Assembly, the business report and financial statements for the past year are approved, the business plan and budget for the new fiscal year are decided, and officers (directors and auditors) who will manage the cooperative are elected.
Representatives are member representatives who attend the Co-op's general meetings and participate in policy decisions. They are selected from a wide range of members of the University of Tokyo Co-op (students, graduate students, faculty, and staff, etc.)
