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! :)

The word has no reason to be mentioned in that excerpt. He was doing well until it popped up. Not triggering, just annoying.

Why? I feel like Browne has a pretty significant grasp on the benefits of board diversity. Why is it something you're struggling with so much? Many organisations mitigate their own potential for innovation by not recruiting diversely, and diversity policies have historically allowed for seeing things differently.

There is a lot of both experiential and academic support behind this. Diversity =/= hiring x minority to fill a quota.

Browne has said if his 4 board members come in and 3 existing members remain, all 7 would be up for re election at the next AGM should there be any challengers
I think that is why Hatley would be supportive - members would get their chance to vote at the AGM and in the meantime change has been executed to a tired and dysfunctional board

 

[The Royal Sampler]

The Age reporting that one of Browne’ team will be a women. If Sizer and Holgate remain, we will have a 4:3 split. Not bad.

We also need someone from the LGBTI community.

There won’t be any challengers though. This has been the case for many years.

Just like the Soviet Politburo

Knowing your views on Buckley and the club, I won't be unhappy if you don't get to vote.

I do not know either him or you but if he has a voting right he should be able to vote that is the way a democracy works and that is exactly the way Collingwood has not been run for a while now. Jmac puts money up and he is entitled to a vote and if you do the same you are entitled to a vote that is the way things work unless you are Russia or China or a tin pot democracy.

 

[Andrew Yoa]

With strong connections to Eddie and Kelly, it doesn't seem like it.

NO chance. If Browne takes over Buckley will be resigned for 2-3 years.

also need a Muslim, Chinese Australian and Indian Australian to better represent our diversity.

resigned is fine - re-signed is a problem

And some intolerant old basta*ds to round it out

apologies Re-Signed

Might be a few people apologising if he is re-signed

Look it was a throwaway line with no genuine malice. I didn't even know what jmac meant by the remark. Although Collingwood at present could almost be described as a 'tin pot democracy'. There is certainly a third world element to the quality of its administration and calibre of its leadership.

Ahhh, you don’t realise TheGreatGrundy and jmac70 used to be flatmates?

Nasty fallout

Shared girlfriend, stolen money, and lost bond because of bong water stains

That‘s no way to describe Tasmania.

Best person for the role IMHO, if there is someone from the LGBTI community that fits the bill great, if there is not I'm OK with that as long as we have a fully functioning board that has the best interests of the Club, Members, Players and Staff and has a social conscience.

 

[TheGreatGrundy]

Our problem is solved if he resigns, so I would be supporting the Brown ticket.

Not an issue at all......................... just get some freakin FLAGS!!!!

Perhaps two birds could become one, negating the need for the stone to be flung quite as accurately or creatively.

Reminds me of a former poster.

 

[Magnanimous]

A lot of AFL clubs lobbied in the last 18 months for Browne to become AFL commission chairman

he is a lot more than Eddie’s mate, and is very much a person of his own convictions

And if he doesn’t come with foot in mouth disorder should be a good move

They tried to resolve it by going to finger painting classes with McGuire's recruit of the century but that ended acrimoniously when Jmac threw an IPA six pack at a photo of Otto on Dayne's honour board

 

[Scodog10]

There's a lot of people saying that they want to hear policies.... so if "sack the coach" is not one of them, what are they?

This is a moot discussion because we won’t get a say regardless of the policies, IMO. Playing it out though are you angling towards the posters or candidates?

If it’s the candidates both should be building their platform on a basis of strong governance, connection to head office and their vision for the future. Where they differ is Korda should be preaching stability at a time when there’s already been a lot of movement and Browne should be proclaiming himself as an agent of change. I suspect on the basis of those two policies there’s wiggle room for both to have a sack or keep the coach stance once this is all said and done. If I were them I wouldn’t be commenting on the coaching position publicly because it’s a fools gambit and I think they’re both smart enough to not reveal their true intentions on that front.

In regards to posters wanting to hear that well that says more about them than the candidates. I don’t want ours to be a club where the members can decide the future of the senior coach. I mean have you seen the quality of football IQ on here?...

There's a HS "exclusive" article from about 45mins ago relating to "Browne's bold plan"........might have a bit more info if it's not just clickbait. Behind paywall so I can't see it.

Does the plan include Flags or Diversity and Equity?
