From the November - December 2006: Volume 6, No. 6 issue.

In the fall of 2004, 24 co-ops in the Eastern Corridor agreed that ongoing board support and system-wide board development were worth pursuing and joined a pilot program for 2005. In 2006, Co-op Board Leadership Development (CBLD) continued with 42 co-ops from the Eastern and Central Corridors. In 2007, CBLD is open to all co-ops in the NCGA, with space for up to 60 co-ops.

Services will be provided by the Cooperative Development Services’ CBLD Leadership Team, a growing group of experienced board consultants that includes Mark Goehring, coordinator, Michael Healy, Bentley Lein, Marshall Kovitz, and Marilyn Scholl. The CDS Team works closely together on the program. Please see the CBLD page for more information.
