Extraordinary Board Orientation

This interactive workshop outlines a new role of the board, going beyond oversight and reaching into how the board can bring value to the association through its governing. The Extraordinary Board Orientation will arm board leaders with the tools to lead their organizations with finesse and purpose. Participants will learn the difference between governing and managing, gain helpful and innovative ways to orient new board members to their governing job and learn how to ensure accountability and transparency.

Of course, we cover the legal basics of fiduciary duty and anti-trust compliance. We also address proper delegation, board succession planning, different modes of governing with focus on becoming a strategic board. To maximize the return on investment, chief staff executives are strongly encouraged to participate in this series with at least two board members with you.
