on from 10:00 – 10:30 for ‘Zoom-Share’
30
minutes sharing contacts, ideas & solutions with your peers
Description:
Often relegated to a rushed session before a
board or committee meeting, a quick conversation after a meeting or called something
like board orientation, you may miss out on what can be billed as a ‘strategic
introduction’ and a vital process for leaders and potential leaders to discover
your organization—how it works and how the board, committees and members help
accomplish an organization’s mission while enjoying a positive experience. The
best way to make the case for board improvement is to conduct periodic board
self-assessments to identify your board’s strengths and areas in need of
improvement. Board
self-assessment enables the board to hold itself, its members, and its
processes accountable, to identify gaps between current performance and
expected or hoped-for performance, and chart a course of improvement,
refinement, and/or further progress. Together we will look at tools you can
use.
