Optimize your board's performance.
Governing boards are entrusted with the vitality and sustainability of their institutions or foundations. But they face escalating challenges in fulfilling their responsibilities as the complexity of governance accelerates. For boards to operate as efficiently as possible, new members must quickly get up to speed. Experienced members must keep expanding their skills and expertise. Effective boards know their roles, understand their duties, apply leading practices, and continuously develop their knowledge. Only boards that are proactively moving forward can get out in front of their challenges and transform them into opportunities.
