501 Commons presents an informative introduction to Policy Governance on January 22, 5-8pm. This seminar, led by Nancy Long, will provide you with a solid understanding of the principles and practices of this fast growing approach to nonprofit governance. Policy Governance® uses policies laid out in advance to help the board clarify its role and to define the relationship between the board and the administrative leader. Read more here.
