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?

Leadership that Inspires Member Engagement – Oct 19

Communities have to earn their members’ involvement before they get it consistently.

The good news is that we can do it. And if we do it really well, we may have to knock out a wall in our meeting rooms just to hold all the keen members!

If our experience in a co-op community is rewarding, we want to stay involved. Creating that kind of experience for our members may be the biggest challenge we face as leaders. It all starts with us.

Co-ops 101 – Oct 26
