abstract = {The most important responsibility of cooperative directors is to JUDICIOUSLY
ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS OF MANAGEMENT. It has been suggested that some
directors do not know all of the correct questions to ask of management, or how.
The purpose of this paper is fourfold: 1) To briefly describe how directors should
pose questions to management, 2) To provide an extensive list of questions directors should
know the answers to, 3) To outline a generic format for asking general questions and 4) To assist
in identifying important board issues and how to handle them.
Certainly this is not a complete list of questions or possible director concerns.
However, we hope it covers most of the important issues directors will confront in carrying out
their fiduciary responsibilities. We also suggest that these questions may be used by nominating
committees and members to explore the cooperative business philosophy and knowledge of
director candidates.
In this paper, we have not provided answers to the questions. We assume
directors that are elected to cooperative boards, in some cases multi-billion dollar companies,
have sufficient business knowledge and experience to know the appropriate answers.},
