  • Basic Responsibilities of the Co-Op Board of Directors
    OVERVIEW BASIC RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE CO-OP BOARD OF DIRECTORS At start-up co-ops develop documents that spell out how the organization will operate. The corporate code often sets legal parameters for the co-op. The Articles of Incorporation contain the purpose of the co-op and its legal definitions. This document is filed with the Secretary of State. The Bylaws include the over-arching rules of the co- ops such as when where and how decisions will be made. The Board of Directors is the legal entity responsible for directing the affairs of the corporation. Every corporation MUST have a board. If a co-op operates as a collective then technically all members are on the Board. The Board must follow the rules set out in the Corporate Code, the Articles of Incorporation, and the Bylaws. Bylaw changes usually require a full membership vote to change. The members of the cooperative elect the Board.1 Three legal charges for Boards are fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty and duty of care. As trustees of the cooperative, board members have a special relationship to the cooperative to make business decisions focused only on what benefits the cooperative and all of its members. Decisions must be based on careful consideration of the issues. The fundamental legal standard for board members is to act in good faith, in a manner they believe to be in the best interests of the cooperative, and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinary prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances.

  • The Circle of Responsibilities for Co-Op Boards
    The Circle of Responsibilities for Co-op Boards REPRINT Management Tip Series By James Baarda Foreword All boards of directors are under increasing pressure to perform well and justify their decisions. Cooperative boards are no exception. But increasing scrutiny of director behavior is not always accompanied by better information about exactly what directors are supposed to do and how they are to perform their many duties. The series of articles reprinted here originally appeared during 2002 as Management Tip articles in three issues of USDA’s "Rural Cooperatives" magazine. These articles lay out fundamental guidelines for cooperative directors. Along with practical guides, the articles explain underlying principles and give suggestions for specific actions cooperative boards and directors can take to improve their service to cooperatives. Cooperative members can use this well-received series to assess board and individual director performance and make informed choices about directors. Directors can apply the information to carry out the full range of their responsibilities with the assurance that they are satisfying the high standards of conduct required of them. The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its programs and activities on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age, disability, political beliefs, sexual orientation, and marital or family status. (Not all prohibited bases apply to all programs.)

  • Limited Partnerships
    INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY AND TRANSACTIONAL LAW CLINIC LIMITED PARTNERSHIPS INTRODUCTORY OVERVIEW A limited partnership is a business entity comprised of two or more persons, with one or more general partners and one or more limited partners. A limited partnership differs from a general partnership in the amount of control and liability each partner has. Limited partnerships are governed by the Virginia Revised Uniform Partnership Act,1 which is an adaptation of the 1976 Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, or RULPA, and its subsequent amendments. HOW A LIMITED PARTNERSHIP IS FORMED To form a limited partnership in Virginia, a certificate of limited partnership must be filed with the Virginia State Corporation Commission. This is different from general partnerships which require no formal recording with the Commonwealth. The certificate must state the name of the partnership,2 and, the name must contain the designation “limited partnership,” “a limited partnership,” “L.P.,” or “LP;” which puts third parties on notice of the limited liability of one or more partners. 3 Additionally, the certificate must name a registered agent for service of process, state the Post Office mailing address of the company, and state the name and address of every general partner. The limited partnership is formed on the date of filing of the certificate unless a later date is specified in the certificate.4 1 VA. CODE ANN. § 50, Ch. 2.2. 2 VA. CODE ANN. § 50-73.11(A)(1). 3 VA.

As a coping strategy, many of them have gradually viewed suppliers as “cooperative partners”. They drop the conventional strategy of cooperating with numerous suppliers and build close partnerships with only a small number of selected suppliers. This paper aims to explore partnerships between manufacturers and suppliers in Taiwan’s high- tech industry. Through a review of literature, four constructs, including partner characteristic, partnership quality, partnership closeness, and cooperative performance are extracted to be the basis of the research framework, hypotheses, and questionnaire. The questionnaire is administered to staff of the purchasing and quality control departments in some high-tech companies in Taiwan. The proposed hypotheses are later empirically validated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM).

Describe the life cycle of a business, 7 including the role of venture capital- ists, initial public offerings, and under- writers. PHOTO: © EBBY MAY/STONE/GETTY IMAGES IIf you were to start up any type of business, you would want to separate the busi- ness’s affairs from your personal affairs. Keeping business transactions separate from personal transactions aids business analysis and simplifies tax reporting. For example, if you provided freelance photography services, you would want to keep a business checking account for depositing receipts for services rendered and writing checks for expenses. At the end of the year, you would have a basis for determining the earn- ings from your business and the information necessary for completing your tax re- turn. In this case, forming the business would be as simple as establishing a name and a separate checking account. As a business becomes more complex, the form of the business entity becomes an important consideration. The entity form has an im- pact on the owners’ legal liability, taxation, and the ability to raise capital.

  • Hands on Board: the Board of Volunteers in an All-Volunteer
    All Hands on Board The Board of Directors in an All-Volunteer Organization By Jan Masaoka BOARDSOURCE E-BOOK SERIES BOARDSOURCE E-BOOK SERIES Volunteerism is an enormous economic force, yet it is never mentioned in business school or in economics departments. — Charles Hoadley, former Chief Economist, Bank of America WHAT IS AN “ALL-VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION”? If you are reading this handbook, you are part of a huge economic force — that of the all-volunteer organization (AVO). Among other tasks, members of AVOs clean up beaches, care for the dying, coach basketball teams, advocate for gun control, rescue abused animals, raise their voices in song, publish literary journals, raise scholarship funds, preserve local history, serve as volunteer fire departments, exchange heirloom seeds, host visitors from foreign countries, help people conquer alcoholism, change public perception about the disabled, and help adoptees and birth parents find each other. They make our communities, however defined, work better. That these and countless other services are provided by volunteers and not by paid staff of a nonprofit, business, or government agency would come as a surprise to many. In fact, those of us in all-volunteer organizations often don’t even think of ourselves as the important economic and social force that we are. A WORD ON TERMINOLOGY When we use the term “all-volunteer organization (AVO),” we mean a nonprofit organi- zation in which volunteers manage the organization and do most or all of the work. Some soccer leagues pay referees for Saturday games, some historic preservation societies pay gardeners, and some PTAs pay after-school art teachers.
