Board members who need lots of support but do little to advance the organization are a drain on resources. Moreover, boards that have poorly defined governance processes can be a risk to an organization. There is, however, a way to set up your board for success.
Just as any well-run organization clearly defines staff roles and responsibilities, Policy Governance® uses written policies that define how the board will operate and how they will work with the executive director.
Deciding in advance how the board will do its work – and how it will provide oversight – allows the board to focus on organizational strategy, deepening community connections, and fundraising. This seminar provides you with a solid understanding of Policy Governance®, an approach to governance used by many nonprofits, credit unions, religious organizations, and school districts.
