In this episode of Build Better Boards, hosts Mitch Majeski, Dr. Keri Jacobs, and Richard Fagerlin tackle "Big G" governance—bylaws and structures that define co-op boards. They discuss future-proofing through strategic updates and board selection.
- Big G & Little G: Big G is formal structure (bylaws, policies); Little G is board culture. Both matter.
- Bylaw Checkup: Regularly review bylaws to match today’s needs—think virtual meetings or outdated rules.
- Board Recruitment: Shift to ongoing, diverse talent scouting, not just last-minute fills.
- Member Voice: Honor co-op roots with two-way communication, not just top-down updates.
- Quick Start: Richard says mark up bylaws with a four-color pen; Keri stresses strategic meeting focus.
