Governance/Bylaws

Mia,

This is a great question. Here is one response we received:

  1. Establish a rotating chair position with one-year terms. The chair has the final vote.
  2. Include a clause for an independent third-party mediator to be brought in if there is a deadlock. Someone neutral, such as an educational consultant, legal expert, or from workforce development, libraries, etc.
  3. Move the decision up to a higher authority, such as Superintendent/College President level.
  4. Weighted vote based on size, enrollment, financial status, etc.
  5. Follow a consensus-building requirement where further discussions must be had before deciding, gaining feedback from stakeholders, bringing in a facilitator, etc. I know a few consortia, like ETCN, are consensus-based as opposed to majority-based.
  6. Create an external advisory board.
