Better Governance in Three Stories
So much has been written about building effective nonprofit Boards. Where does one begin to make a good Board better? This keynote uses engaging, timeless stories to illustrate three foundational governance practices that will make your Board better: 1) getting the right people on the Board, 2) minding the interpersonal dynamics among board members and between Board and Staff, and 3) achieving alignment around mission and values. After each story participants have the opportunity to apply that practice to their own organization, and then compare their ideas with peers.
The audience gets stories not Powerpoint, application to their own organization, and discussion with peers. They leave with memorable stories and tangible take-aways for their Board.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify foundational governance practices that will improve their Board's effectiveness.
- Apply lessons in board recruiting, minding board dynamics, and aligning Board and Staff around mission and values to their organization.
- Share stories that illustrate these governance practices.
