Part Eight: Listening and Leading Webinar Series (Presented by Capital One)

Modernizing CoSIDA's Governance Structure
A discussion of the proposed changes for 2020-21.
Original Date: Thursday, May 14, 2020

Download: Modernizing CoSIDA's Governance Structure (Presentation deck)

As the current framework of CoSIDA’s governance structure looks much the same as it did during its first years of existence (60+ years ago) while CoSIDA has grown exponentially and our profession has changed dramatically, earlier this year a CoSIDA Governance Review Working Group was formed to examine the governance structure of our organization.

On the webinar, CoSIDA President Herb Vincent, Executive Director Doug Vance and moderator Lenny Reich (Mount Union), a CoSIDA Board member and part of the governance working group, discussed the proposed changes from our current Board of Directors setup to a three-tier CoSIDA governance structure. This new structure will: create more leadership opportunities, increase diversity in CoSIDA leadership and create avenues for members with common issues to effectively engage on those topics.

Because it takes a membership vote to make any changes to the CoSIDA Constitution and our governing structure, all current CoSIDA members will have an opportunity to vote on the changes in June.

Attendees learned more about and asked questions on the proposed changes during the webinar. A timeline for review of the changes and the voting schedule in June also were discussed.
