What people are saying about the course
“I took part in the Good Governance Matters course and found it to be informative and engaging. It provided me with an opportunity to hear from different types of cooperatives from all over Canada and I gained a greater sense of understanding around cooperative values and how they relate and weave together with good governance practices. The course moderators provided insightful perspectives and examples throughout that built on the shared experiences of the cohort. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience and would recommend it for anyone involved in a cooperative organization in Canada.” – Rachel Carswell, Governance Manager at Vancity Credit Union
"To me, the Good Governance Matters course is a learning accelerator – the instructors and course material are excellent, the break-out sessions provide great opportunities to discuss issues and options and to learn from the perspectives and experiences of the other participants, and the selected case studies make for interesting and challenging discussions. I strongly recommend that this course be part of every director’s learning development.” – John Stevenson, Board President at Sherwood Cooperative Association
