Transforming Your Executive Committee Into True Cooperative Leaders: A Framework for Effective Leadership Trainings - NASCO Institute

Executive Committee members are dedicated coopers with lots of added responsibilities – they share knowledge and experience to assist with the Board decision making process, they help set the tone for interactions between staff and members, and they are often the face of the cooperative to both members and the community, among other things. Yet many Executive Committee members end their terms feeling “If only I knew in the beginning what I know now,” while others are overtaken by stress and are unable to complete their terms. In this workshop, we will walk through the components of a successful Executive Committee training and support structure, providing an effective framework for developing comprehensive training and discussing key components of maintaining team cohesion and success throughout terms.
