In a co-operative or community enterprise it is particularly important
that all the people involved in making decisions are well informed and are
all working within the same guidelines.
Co-operative Futures can help organisations to adopt and maintain good governance
practices and to develop policies and procedures to ensure everyone is working
in a coherent way. Co-operative Futures also provides training specifically
for board and committee members.
Involving your members or shareholders in your organisation
is very important, because you need their support. Some will be more active
and be prepared to take on additional responsibilities, whereas others may
just be happy to show their support by attending the AGM.
Encouraging them all to participate begins with communication. There are a
number of ways to do this and Co-operative Futures can advise your organisation
on the ways that work best for you.
