About the course

Too often cooperative businesses and organizations create their bylaws and then they sit in a folder unused as the business develops. Then when a conflict arises, worker-owners have forgotten what the bylaws or member manual says about the given issue. This course will help you regularly review your bylaws and develop a member manual that addresses potential problems before they come up. Having well-developed bylaws and a member manual, as well as a structure for reviewing and updating them, can set your cooperative up for success.
