Toast Presidency and The Board

[jathanas]

Thank you 76woodenspooners

One of BigFooty’s all-time-favourite posters, Reykjavik , was all across the board level stuff. He once posted a list of the responsibilities of a Not-For-Profit board like that of Collingwood …

NFP board responsibilities
Specific responsibilities of a not-for-profit (NFP) board include:

• Driving the strategic direction of the organisation
• Working with the CEO to enable the organisation to obtain the resources, funds and personnel necessary to implement the organisation's strategic objectives
• Implementing, maintaining and (as necessary) refining a system of good governance that is appropriate for the organisation
• Reviewing reports and monitoring the performance of the organisation
• Regularly reviewing the board's structure and composition, so that these are appropriate for the organisation
• Appointing – and managing the performance of – a suitable CEO
• Succession planning for the CEO

While the above points are also applicable to for-profit boards, NFP boards also face a unique range of issues, such as:

• Difficulties in defining and measuring organisational effectiveness
• Transgression of role boundaries
• The negative impact of the structural compositions of some NFP boards, including those arising from representative models
• Funding dependencies and constraints

In practice, the role of the board is to supervise an organisation's business in two broad areas:

1. Overall business performance - ensuring the organisation develops and implements strategies and supporting policies to enable it to fulfill the objectives set out in the organisation's constitution. The board delegates the day to day management of the organisation but remains accountable to the shareholders for the organisation's performance. The board monitors and supports management in an on-going way.
2. Overall compliance performance - ensuring the organisation develops and implements systems to enable it to comply with its legal and policy obligations (complying with statutes such as the Corporations Act 2001, adhering to accounting standards) and ensure the organisation's assets are protected through appropriate risk management.

We don't know what the Freak/Eddie is doing Behind the Scene's

Eddie may have relinquished his title as President in an official capacity , but his imprint and influence on the direction and decisions the club will make , has not , Korda will be Ed`s Marionette

Guess we still going to Suck for awhile yet then

 

[Go Woods]

Next announcement, Buckley signs 3 year extension along with Harvey & Sanderson.......FMD.

 

[Unknown Identity]

This goes 2 ways with Korda in charge.

He becomes a proxy for Eddie and nothing changes.

He listens to the members and public reaction and decides to make full scale changes.

Going to be interesting 4-6 months.

Then watch lot of Fans Cancel there Memberships

 

[Carringbush2010]

These excerpts from the CFC website

' “Collingwood has long held a place in my life and I take on this role with the strong belief that we have in our possession a wonderful legacy'

Are you talking about nearly 100 years ago Mark? If so I agree, time to regain that legacy.

' “Collingwood has been made by many and it will take many to drive it forward. I thank Peter Murphy for his support, particularly over recent months, and his determination to see Collingwood continue to flourish'

Umm, we haven't flourished for decades and decades, but I agree, flourish first then continue.

 

[The Royal Sampler]

Not what I was hoping for but will get my full support. This is not the time for further division and white-anting.

 

[anshell]

When do the club members actually have a say in electing a President?Is it ever going to happen?

And what does Mark Steven’s mean when he says EGM here we come?Is that just an opinion of his,or something that is likely to happen?

Club Needs Change and Looks like it won't Happen

 

[Matrix10]

Guess we still going to Suck for awhile yet then

Who knows how long we will suck Dave, I knew when Ed decided to finally step down, it wasn`t over, he will kick and scream through the mouthpiece of Korda , would rather they went with Sally Capp, fresh face, new ideas, re-invigorate the club, shake the establishment, smart cookie that , smooth operator

Need a Rival Ticket for an Election

Just so disappointing. More of the same coming up. This was our chance for a new beginning. We are such an underwhelming club now. We have become inconsequential.

 

[BringouttheGimp]

You can only say 'what the **** is going on with this club' so many times before you decide that the only option you've got.. is to microwave your membership. I'm done man.

 

[Civilest]

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. As the famous Who song goes....

 

[The jouneyman]

FFS Collingwood...give us spell

 

[cityslick1]

Will start reading up on him a bit more now....

sorry, feel free to delete

 

[Vicky Park]

My initial reaction was disappointment. More. Of. The. Same.

But Korda should be given a chance. He may not be Eddie #2. We don’t know what he’s committed to, and what his vision is. Assuming he has a vision.

 

[WalterBlaknWhte]

We’ve gone from Game Show Host to Liquidator

Trend is not good

 

[cityslick1]

Not impressed at all

because a mate of Eddie's? Know next to nothing about the guy tbh... will start reading now

 

[McOrist]

Stevo campaigning for his workmate's dad??

 

[Stax on the mill]

Will delight the pro Eddie diehards no doubt. Seems a very beige personality. Too much part of Eddie’s reign.

 

[Carringbush2010]

Shouldn't the thread title read:

'The disappointment of Collingwood announcing new president Mark Korda' TradeDraft ?

 

[SouthernPie]

Need a Rival Ticket for an Election

Excuse my ignorance, but is a "ticket" a challenge for ALL positions on the board, or just the Presidency?

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Underwhelming, but I don't want to be premature in judging Korda without seeing what he does first.

The board.
