At the 2019 Canadian District Assembly, the District management of

co-responsibility was reconfirmed. 

​

According to Larousse, “co-responsability  is responsibility shared among several individuals”. 

​

Within an organization, making the choice to govern in a shared manner implies that the individuals involved in the governance of the group are committed to a process where each one becomes jointly and in solidarity accountable for the attainment of results, and this in various contexts. This shared solidarity is so very important within the climate that goes with their co-operation.

​

Co-responsibility implies a high level of transparency between the members of the governing team, mutual sharing of information and the acceptance of initiatives coming from the members of the group or from one’s colleagues.

​

Co-responsibility leads to the moral obligation of answering for and standing behind one’s actions. If co-responsibility gives decision-making powers, it also implies that one must answer for the decisions. 

The mission of the organization remains the point around which all other responsibilities turn.
