What makes a good board?
Whether you are new to the board or been serving for some time, this workshop offers an opportunity to review governance basics and learn the best practices in creating effective boards. In this workshop, we will explore the difference between governance and management and the importance of principled leadership in resilient boards.
A co-op's success or failure as a business and as a community depends on a good effective board. A good board understands:
- its legal obligations;
- how the co-op's governing documents guide decision-making and actions;
- its role and the role of the general membership, staff, and committees — in governing and managing the co-op;
- the most common mistakes and how to avoid them;
- what it will take to be a co-op with a sustainable future.
