GOVERNANCE
This is perhaps the most important area to consider for any organization because Board leadership will govern your success or failure. It is essential to build a strong and effective Board, one that will provide the leadership in terms of expertise, capacity and peer networking. Recruitment and succession planning are part of this process and building relationships with all Board members as well as their effective engagement and ownership of the work and mission:
- Board management and engagement
- Relationship building
- Working with the Board Chair and the board leadership
- Succession planning
- Recruitment techniques and criteria for selection
- Committee structures
- Setting expectations
- Board handbook
- By-Laws
