Articulating your co-op’s value, supporting GM’s, and hosting effective virtual meetings in the time of COVID-19

Good governance of your community co-op has never mattered more. During the shutdown, Columinate is offering a number of virtual trainings and resources to support boards of directors in their ongoing learning and development. These events will be hosted throughout the year, and over the next month, will be focused on how boards can pivot to work effectively as the COVID-19 situation continues to evolve. Registration is now open for our April 30 webinar, Supporting Your GM During a Pandemic. Registration is coming soon for our May webinars.

COVID-19 has upended our lives in so many ways, not the least of which are the restrictions on gathering in person. Many Boards of Directors have been thrown suddenly into the world of virtual meetings, and these sorts of meetings come with some particular quirks and constraints. In this workshop we will learn from each other as we explore a handful of tools and techniques that can help create effective and enjoyable virtual meetings. This session is intended for board chairs or others in the organization who are responsible for facilitating meetings.
