The leader’s role in building a high performing governing board is complex and fraught with challenges. Yet the executive director/CEO plays a lynchpin role in enhancing board functioning. This hands-on session offers practical approaches and tools with strategies to enhance your board’s engagement and mission value. Key takeaways include: creating a board work plan, agenda design for meetings that matter, measuring board performance and tackling gnarly issues that may thwart effectiveness.
