Event Details
Conflicts within your building’s Board can feel especially suffocating – after all, you can always leave a work conflict and go home, but when the issue is in your home, sharing amenities and sharing walls, things get a bit trickier. The thing is, they don’t have to be tricky! Argo’s managers and COO have succeeded in helping all kinds of Boards, large and small, with diversified interests, work together to handle intra-Board conflict as well as issues with shareholders, staff, and contractors. We are armed with tips to help avoid heated conflict in the first place, as well as how to handle it once it arises.
Please join us at the Hotel Beacon, Wednesday, October 17 from 6-8 for a panel discussion on best practices surrounding conflict resolution for Boards. This is an Argo University you don’t want to miss.
