Results from Landmark Survey on Co-Op and Credit Union Governance Practices

Results from the first-ever national survey on co-operative and credit union governance practices have been
released today by the Canadian Co-operative Association (CCA) and Brown Governance Inc (BGI). This landmark survey provides a comprehensive picture of co-operative governance practices across the country and profiles specific practices such as the participation of inside directors on co-op boards, the selection process and attributes of board members, director compensation levels and practices, disclosure and transparency practices, and the areas over which boards assume strategic or monitoring responsibility. Where possible, comparisons with practices in the corporate sector have been made.
