Build a better co-op.

Co-operative governance is an essential part of your responsibility as the director or manager of a co-op, and a vital factor for guiding your organization towards its vision of success.

Plan for success.

You will receive coaching on key topics such as:

Board selection and succession: balancing the democratic nature of a co-op with a need to have a variety of experience and capabilities on your Board.
Orienting directors: the best methods in introducing new directors to your co-op’s board, from a staff and board perspective.
Evaluating performance: how to develop methods to measure your board’s performance in relation to both its goals and its governance responsibilities.
Communicating governance with members: co-operative governance means living the co-operative principles as you help guide an enterprise through success and challenges. We’ll talk about communicating that with members - and how to help members communicate with you.

Please note: This workshop is interactive. You will need to bring a copy of your co-op’s Rules for context, and be prepared to actively discuss the scenarios and situations.
