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.

Hmmm, interesting we stuck with a internal appointment. I thought it would’ve been a good time to bring in some new fresh ideas, and appointed someone externally. Well done however to president Korda...

 

[Rusty Beam]

Not sure he is exactly an Eddie man, given he was part of the board that tipped him out. But he is part of the establishment and part of the problem.

Sure Jeff Browne is Eddies mate, but I was honestly keen on him as he seems like he is his own man and would have brought about real change.

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

There is only one BOSS, Badlands Springsteen

That won't Happen with the Current Administration.

Need someone to Grow a Set and Force Change this Club Needs

"That deaf, dumb and blind kid, sure plays bland and uninspiring decisions on and off the field, causing distain and unrest between casual fans and members alike pinball!"

Until he started hanging out with that traitor Obama

 

[zhoung]

The members should decide who is on the board and who is president, time for change.

 

[jmac70]

What were you all expecting to happen?

Browne was the choice of the McGuire camp, Galbally, Peter Moore, Craig Kelly and the media bigwigs. This made me sceptical straight away.

Korda, Murphy and Licuria were apparently the key men behind Eddie's exodus. Korda's been on the board for over a decade, but it would be unfair to judge him without seeing what he does first without McGuire overshadowing him.

I'm not enthused by the situation, but I think we just need to settle down and see how this develops first. The issue around triggering an EGM is the media's dream.

Mark... Korda.

I was hoping we’d get Petr

Essendon were looking at him a few years back...

 

[TradeDraft]

Best thing Korda can do is keep out of the Footy Department and let Wright Do his Job

ED was not tipped out, it was a well orchestrated manoeuvre to appeal to the masses who were baying for change. rule 101 in political surviaval

Agree, Dave.

Btw, apologies about before. I overstepped the mark on reflection. We're all passionate about Collingwood and want to see it be the best it can be.

It's like we've replaced Guy Sebastian with Shannon Noll.. why bc Guy vouched for Shannon.. a worthy opponent.. established a respectable bond between themselves.. well what about all the other finalists over the yrs? They don't count for shit do they? What about me Guy it isn't fair.. I've been here for 20 yrs now I want my share? What about me Guy.. you just take more than you give?

Well **** off idiot.

Mark or Petr !

Dmitry Medvedev come on down.

Be nice if they trusted the members enough to put forward a couple of candidates and decide it with a vote.

Oh well let’s see what he’ll do now, he may have different ideas, give him a chance I guess.

All we needed was Nana mouskouri for back up vocals

Eddie would lose the Power he has over the Club Then

 

[zhoung]

How are we any different to the AFL commission if we have no say in board appointments FFS, no doubt about it the pigs at the trough have done little to make us think that the current board is working.
Kordas background insolvency accountant, WOW.
Special breed that one, think of the sucker fish except suckerfish do something beneficial to the shark for the free ride like, eating external parasites and loose flakes of skin.
Insolvency accountants are ambulance chasers. How low can we go!

 

[AndrewShawble]

Must’ve been an exhausting search.

Knowing the Pies they are probably still on the hook for a 6 figure exec search bill.

 

[Kings_Gambit]

Hey Eddie haters. He is out! So leave him the f#@#k alone. I will give the new guy a chance.

 

[jackcass]

Wow, that's a surprise. I thought he was the least likely. Good luck to him.

Also welcome Neil Wilson to the board into the vacancy created by Eddies departure.

Korda appointed Collingwood's 13th president
