    Making Democracy Work at Your Co-op: Engaged Elections with Caroline Chapman

    Every co-op needs a good Board of Directors - a Board that makes wise decisions, represents the members, gives strong leadership, and inspires the confidence of the members. A good election process can't guarantee the co-op a good board, but it can improve the odds. Good elections require planning and hard work. This is double true under the new election rules for housing co-ops.
