September

What Makes a Good Board – Sept 14

The best workshop for a newly elected board: packed full with the basic knowledge all housing co-op directors need as well as tools for how to work effectively to ensure good governance, sound management and principled leadership.

Boards and Committees Working Together – Sept 21

Look at what practices have served co-ops in the past, what hasn’t worked, and what we want for the future.

What Makes a Good Director – Sept 28

Good directors need to know what they can do as individuals to ensure a co-op board’s success. We’ve all heard about a director’s fiduciary duty and the duty of care. But how do these important concepts translate into the daily demand for good governance and principled leadership in our co-ops? What does “acting in the best interest of the co-op” really mean? How must a director and the board handle situations of conflict of interest?

Be sure to check back regularly for new workshops being added to the list.
