THIS WORKSHOP IS FOR YOU!
Building on our highly successful Directors and Officers Workshops in Niwot, Mancos, and Las Animas, DARCA has assembled another great team of experts to discuss:
Corporate governance basics for ditch companies
Comparison of alternatives for ditch company corporate structures
Duties, liabilities and indemnification of officers and directors
Whether you should update your bylaws
Importance of rules and regulations
Drafting minutes of meetings
Communicating with shareholders
Shareholders’ rights and duties
Planning and conducting stockholders’ meetings
Dispute resolution
Barriers to optimal decision making
Whiskey’s for drinkin’ water’s for fightin’
This workshop will begin with a panel discussion which includes opportunities for audience participation. The panel will be moderated by DARCA Executive Director, John McKenzie. Panel members include two experienced corporate attorneys, Carol Werner of Carol K. Werner, LLC, and Kathleen Gormley of the Gormley Law Firm. The panel will provide practical guidance for better operating your ditch company. The participants will gain a greater understanding of corporate law as applied to mutual ditch companies as well as ditch companies that have elected to be governed by the Colorado Nonprofit Corporations Act. Extensive handouts citing Colorado statutory and case law will be provided. Workshop participants will be able to present the panel with real-life situations that need resolution.
Next, MaryLou Smith of Aqua Engineering, Inc. will discuss conflict resolution with ditch companies. She will explain how conflicts can be avoided and resolved by learning to view disputes differently and by trying different strategies - ones that have been shown to be effective.
Limit: 40 attendees.
The Director and Officers Training Workshop is sponsored by: Applegate Group Inc., Aqua Engineering Inc. and Bernard, Lyons, Gaddis & Kahn, P.C.
