how much power to you give your board of directors?
Are they there to run your business such as make policies or just make there to make “scandalize” decisions for the group that would be hard to make if your emotionally attached..

The outside director approach has been used successfully in every public corporation, and it makes sense for derby. A great example is the Redwood Rollers up in Humboldt county – they have no skaters on the board… none! And they gave back over $10K to the local community last season!

Dude. Our league LBRD is hammering out this issue right now. I’m totally for just going for it (getting other people on our board), but some chicks are hesitant–fear of the unknown, and shit. I’m going to present something at a meeting soon and use your blog. It might help! I’ll letcha know what happens. Wooooot!

holelotta:
Could you offer any leagues as an example where this concept has worked? It would be great to talk directly to someone. Thanks.

The fist example that comes to mind is Rat City. On my last trip to Seattle I hung out with one of their founders. She was telling me that they recently updated their policies to include outside community members on their board. She absolutely raved about it, and expressed that she wished they would have done that long ago. Shoot me an email if you have trouble getting info from them, and I'll see what I can do.

Hi, Yo Roller Derby! I read your blog regularly and appreciate your point of view. Could you offer any leagues as an example where this concept has worked? It would be great to talk directly to someone. Thanks.
