About the webinar:

How do we set up governance documents for our worker co-ops that reflect our co-op’s values, are understandable and also hold up as a legal document?  In this webinar we will tackle issues of:
- membership
- patronage / surplus
- taxes
- union neutrality
- structure
- decision-making
- meetings
- board roles
- termination
- dissolution and
- bylaw amendment

It is geared towards those looking to:
- create their co-op’s bylaws or operating agreements
- review existing documents, or
- make their documents more accessible.  

The webinar will not give legal advice or go into depth on tax issues, but will give participants a strong overview of what to consider in worker co-op governing documents for clarity, transparency and clear process for good times as well as crisis.

*This webinar will be recorded; you may register to receive the recording afterwards, or visit usworker.coop next week when it will be posted.
