One of the goals of the AILG Peer Visit Program is to help our community identify and share best practices. Every group is unique, but we also have a lot in common and can all customize and expand on each other’s ideas.
House Corporations
Here are some suggestions about corporation governance and officer responsibilities. These are intended to apply to a broad range of FSILGs. Your governance and officer roles may vary and every house will have other positions not listed. But, since we have a lot of the same goals and share a lot of the same needs, many groups have to figure out how to cover similar responsibilities. These are intended to be “living documents” so please go ahead and comment, edit, and suggest changes in the documents to be shared with the rest of us.
