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.

Reyk, I'm ridiculously happy to see you posting! :)

I hope they release the full results, rather than just tell us who's been elected.

Would be interested to know how many votes each candidate receives.

My understanding is they’re not going to release the per candidate count.

Whilst it’d be ‘nice to know’ and transparent to release it, I do appreciate that boards often decide on confidentiality for a variety of reasons, but usually to save face for those who don’t get elected (I mean what if you only got your 10 votes?!) and a show of unity after the argy bargy.

Just great to have a vote! Good luck to all of the participants.

There must be a count total for the election to be authentic.

it’s a a good point. But a counterpoint is that the unsuccessful candidates might want to understand how close they got? And what they might do differently next time they run?

It’s unclear how we move forward with this process. What happens this time next year when Korda’s seat becomes vacant, do we have an election for that one seat? Or do we go back to casual vacancies, and how things were?

The just completed Hawthorn Election & AGM was also handled by CorpVote, I don’t think they released voting details (vote count), just announced the successful candidates.
The exact results would have leaked if announced at the AGM.
No leak…so I assume, no details released.
I assume we shall follow similar path.

Today we wrap up season 2021 and look forward to 2022 and a more prosperous future.

Let's hope whoever gets elected is in it for the best interests of the Collingwood Football Club and always puts the club first in everything it does.

...and keep their noses out of the footy department.

Amen!

We can only hope but since February 2021, this seems to have been the case, so fingers crossed it continues.

I wonder what's significant about that date?

 

[Mollythedolly]

No I was using it as an example of something that should have gone our way…

Pressure pressure and more pressure is what we are entitled to apply. And we should expect that more often than not decisions fall in our favour

When you lack the levers to pull, applying pressure is just whining by a different tag. I’ll leave it there.

Still be interesting to get the total number of voters, especially given all the hand wringing by a few about having an election. We know the total number of members who could vote was somewhere around 13k. How many actually exercised that option and actually voted?

 

[Mollythedolly]

I’m still waiting for anyone to tell me which actual seasons, if any, that that wasn’t a priority for the club.

Surely we should have won half of those, if we had focused on winning flags…

I think they’ll release that.

I heard it was 4000ish out of that 12 to 13,000.

Might sound low percentage wise, but it’s solid relative to other clubs’ votes. It’s not exactly a vote for the POTUS!

Or perhaps we wouldn’t have gotten so close in those heartbreaking years if we hadn’t been so steadfastly focused on silverware.

That’s a lousy % in my opinion.
Considering all the noise about democracy & time for an Election.
Voting online 20-30 seconds…didn’t have to attend a meeting.
No point expanding voting rights.
I was thinking a 70-80% turnout.
Very odd.
May have been different if a true head to head contest between two opposing parties (Fight for the Presidency etc).

I have also heard around 3,000-4,000 members voted as well.

+ turnout would have been helped if the mainstream media had done their job of peddling the competitive nature of it, rather than simply reporting it as a fait accompli for Jeff Browne.

 

[Mukesh]

Pretty piss poor turnout I reckon...that's 4000 folk who can legitimately whinge or enthuse about the Board and how the Club is run... the remaining 9000ish best just keep their thoughts to themselves..

Here we go...

when does it start?

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

Starts now.

 

[76woodenspooners]

I wonder if TradeDraft is poised to launch his welcome threads?

 

[MyManLynch]

New major sponsor to be announced soon.
Assume naming rights sponsor
