Board of Directors

Donny Goff, President

Donny is a long-time software developer, part-time energy efficiency aficionado, and time-less yogi in Austin Texas. His cooperative experience includes living in Sasona co-op and co-founding and serving in several officer positions at La Reunion Co-operative in Austin. Holding bachelors degrees in both Computer Engineering and Liberal Arts from UT Austin, Donny appreciates both the tangible benefits of the shared ownership model – shared profits and focus on longer term results, as well as the less tangible benefits – cooperative stakeholder decision making, empowerment of members, and creation of community through effort towards common goals.

He has been the founding Treasurer of the La Reunion Cooperative Apartments, Austin’s first non-student apartment cooperative.
