Cooperative Board Leadership 101 is an in-person, multi co-op, one-day training designed to provide a strong foundation for directors. While especially helpful for those new to co-op boards, all directors and GMs are welcome to participate.
The day includes:

  • Cooperative Values and Principles
  • Board Roles and Responsibilities
  • Principles of Policy Governance*
  • Basic Financial Understanding

Nine sessions are held during the year in various locations. Directors and GMs are welcome to attend any session, be it the one closest to them or the one that best fits their schedule.

Note * If your co-op doesn’t use Policy Governance, no problem! Many of the co-ops enrolled in CBLD do, so we include an introduction to the principles of Policy Governance in the CBL101 session. Directors from co-ops that don’t use Policy Governance find the introduction useful to better understand the governance system that many other co-ops use.
