Course Description:
Gain a solid understanding of this established model and make it work for your organization. Policy Governance® is a comprehensive and integrated governance system shown to increase organizational accountability and effectiveness. This class is your introduction to clear and deliberate governance.

Governance is the highest level of organizational leadership. The job of governance needs to emphasize values, vision, empowerment of both board and staff, and the strategic ability to lead leaders. Workshop is for board members and staff leaders who will (1) gain appreciation of leadership through governance, (2) define roles of management and board governance distinctly from one another, (3) identify the unique job outputs of the board, (4) avoid both meddling and "rubber-stamping."
