The Packers are the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team in the United States.
The team's elected president represents the Packers in NFL owners meetings, unless someone else is designated. During his time as coach, Vince Lombardi generally represented the team at league meetings in his role as general manager, except at owners-only meetings, where the team was represented by president Dominic Olejniczak.
Green Bay is the only team with this form of ownership structure in the NFL; such ownership is in direct violation of current league rules, which stipulate a limit of 32 owners of one team and one of those owners having a minimum 30% stake. However, the Packers corporation was grandfathered in when the NFL's current ownership policy was established in the 1980s.

Do the Pittsburgh penguins have publicly owned stock?
The short answer is no, the Penguins are not a publicly traded company. They are currently owned by former player Mario Lemieux and businessman Ron Burkle. There are currently no major professional sports teams in North America that are publicly traded; however, some, such as the New York Knicks and New York Rangers, are owned by companies that are publicly traded (in this case, Madison Square Garden, Inc.) Also, the Green Bay Packers are a nonprofit company -- the only major sports team to be publicly owned. They have over 112,000 shareholders, mostly people in the Green Bay area whose shares are passed down the family line. Even so, it is not possible to simply buy a share of the team. In fact, there have only been four stock sales since 1923, the year when the Packers were incorporated as a public organization.
