I didn't like the idea, because, chapters are not equal. Why you don't focus your energy sharing experiences in one open wiki, creating a cookbook (not a manual), and than another communities can use this material too...

The majority of chapter boards (and the proposed thematic organizations) do not routinely have an induction process with training in expected reporting requirements, liability as directors, the role of oversight and how to maintain a competent and professional board function, etc.
At the Milan conference, I shall be proposing that the WCA takes a lead in arranging a shared training course and workshop with the aim of this being a regular planned activity, so that chapters and other groups agree basic expectations for the behaviours and competencies of board members, and benefit from the efficiencies of a shared training event, hopefully hosted by one of the chapters with handy facilities to support it.
I have chatted about this proposition during coffee breaks with 4 different 'large' chapters, and the feedback so far is that this would be an easy way of improving the quality of our governance and of definite direct benefit to many of our organizations.
