There are many ways that cooperative and condominium boards can turn pressure to “go green” into an opportunity to reduce costs and comply with new codes. This popular workshop, sponsored by CNYC, NYSERDA Energy $mart Communities, and Solar One, will present easy ways to quickly reduce energy costs, and information on incentives available through the NYSERDA Multifamy Performance Program for comprehensive energy efficiency retrofits, and strategies for engaging shareholders and unit owners in the greening process. There is no cost for CNYC members and subscribers to attend this workshop but advanced registration is required. Others are welcome at a fee of $30 payable in advance. To pay at the door, reserve in advance and add a surcharge of $15.

THREE CHALLENGES TO EFFECTIVE BOARD PERFORMANCE: GENDER, GENERATION, GENTRIFICATION
Wednesday, March 7, 2012
7 PM
Location to be announced
The Boards of housing cooperatives and
condominiums have the task of setting
policy and overseeing the operation of their
buildings. Boards need to learn to work
together, to discover what works best for
them as a way to discuss new issues and
arrive at informed decisions with the best
interest of the cooperative or condominium
always in mind. Among the challenges that
boards face in their effort to work efficiently
and well, are the differences in the ways
that different people approach issues,
communicate with one another, deal with
opposition, or defend a constituency. In this
session, Attorney Phyllis Weisberg will lead
a discussion of how gender differences,
generational perspectives and economic
issues (=gentrification) can be barriers to
harmonious board functioning; she will have
suggestions for overcoming these
challenges. There is no cost to
representatives from CNYC member cooperatives and
condominiums; non-affiliates are welcome
at a fee of $50 if paid in advance or $60 if
collected at the door. Register online or by
calling the CNYC office at 212 496-7400.
