Better candidates make better boards...

At Frontrunner.coop we believe that preparing board candidates leads to better-run boards. Providing upfront training for responsibilities and skills removes barriers to entry, allowing for more diverse boards and better representation for members. Our program de-mystifies what it means to help steer a cooperative, and gives candidates a better chance to be a frontrunner. Put simply, we believe that better candidates lead to better cooperatives!

Success Stories

"This training helped me understand what is involved in being a co-op Board member, so I felt confident that I had the skills and time for it."

Rafael Jacobs

"It definitely helps to know which candidates finish their training diligently, and which candidates fail to do what's asked of them. If they struggle to take a few hours of classes online, they're not ready for board responsibilities."

Ella Mikkelsen

"One candidate left the election process as soon as he was assigned training. He probably would have quit the Board early."
