Trainings & Workshops
There’s a lot to know about developing, launching, operating and growing a co-operative. The BCCA’s training and workshops focus on brief, but intense, training sessions and workshops to deliver deep learning experiences and relevant information participants can apply to their specific co-op scenarios right away.
Board Governance Workshops
Ideal for board chairs, board committees and board directors, the sessions include discussion on:
- Co-op Models
- Hallmarks of Effective Governance
- Board Decision-Making
- Board Responsibilities
- Board Challenges, Pitfalls and Mitigation
Post-workshop coaching is also available from a seasoned expert in co-op board governance.
