2019 City-Wide Board Course Rescheduled for May

This workshop focuses on the board's role in Management and Governance. It is a great way to introduce board members to their position or to inform potential candidates of what is involved. It can also be a refresher course for those who have been around for a while. It will provide some practical ideas to help boards, members and staff work effectively together.

It is an excellent opportunity for members who currently serve on committees and members who want to become involved to learn more about how the board functions. It is a secure stepping stone for future involvement on the board.

1. The core management standards will be reviewed in this workshop as well and we will talk about how your co-op can get the desired results from:
   
   Good Governance
   Sound Management
   Building an Open and Healthy Community
   Maintenance
   Financial Literacy
   Marketing
   Legal Obligations

   COST: 100.00 for members 200.00 non-members - Registration to open soon.
   

   Snacks and beverages will be supplied, please provide for your own lunch.

   
   We require a minimum number of ten people to hold the workshop. There is also limited space so please register early. Workshop fees are not refundable unless the workshop has to be cancelled due to insufficient registrations. If the person registered cannot attend their workshop, they or their co-op should find someone else to attend in their place.
