Meeting Resources

Meetings are the foundation of your housing co-op’s democratic governance. There are certain legal requirements set out in the Cooperative Association Act and your Rules, so you will want to pay careful attention to how your meetings are organized and run. Our resources here are designed to help with meaningful participation for the full range of meetings that co-ops deal with, including annual general meetings, board meetings and town halls.  

 

(These resources are designed to work best with Model Rules 2.0.)

More about meeting resources

Meetings are the foundation of your housing co-op’s democratic governance, and everyone should have an opportunity to take part. This, along with legal requirements set out in the Cooperative Association Act and your Rules, means that you will want to pay careful attention to how your meetings are organized and run.

We offer tools such as sample agendas, minute-taking templates and other resources that help with all the major meeting types that housing co-ops face.
