Governance 101 - How to Govern Your Co-op

How to Govern Your Co-op.

Governance as a concept can seem mysterious as the line between the operational management of a co-operative enterprise can often become blurred with enacting the rules and policies that a co-op board adopts to ensure that it is well run.

Governance 101 is an introduction to the governance environment of a co-op enterprise – you will learn about the relationship between governing the co-operative, participating as a member, and running the business. You will also learn about the obligations that you take on when you volunteer to be a director of your co-operative.

De-mystifying governance.

You will explore key governance topics during this workshop, including:

• The nature of governance in a co-operative enterprise
• How to balance management, member participation, and governance
• Legal obligations as a director of a co-operative enterprise
• Governance best practices

Who should attend?

Board members, directors, managers and/or those thinking about stepping into governance roles
