Everybody wants a better board. Whether your board is barely functioning or off-the-charts effective, the work of the board can be better, and maybe even fun. This webinar will help you build a better board. By focusing intentionally on every step of the governance process, you can improve your organization’s capacity, resilience and effectiveness.
We will start with understanding “whose organization is it?” And where is it on the life cycle of organizations?
- How do you build a board for what you need?
- Should you have an orientation for all new members? And a refresher for others?
- Do the directors understand their responsibilities on the board?
We’ll have some specific issues to consider.
- Do directors understand their own responsibilities, and how their personal responsibilities differ from the board responsibilities?
- Do they enjoy serving on the board? How can you get the best from the most?
- Do they understand their duty to ask “dumb questions”?
- Do they want or need term limits?
- Have they built in personal protections from liability? And avoided doing the things that are absolutely prohibited and done the things that are absolutely required?
- Do they understand the role of “the lawyer on the board”?
- Do they understand how the conduct of board meetings can make a difference? Is adopting a consent agenda enough?
- Do they understand the role of committees? And advisory committees?
- Do they know how to improve the partnership with the CEO?
- Do they know how to avoid surprises?
- Do they know who is watching, and who can make their lives miserable or threaten the organization?
We will discuss these topics and more, pointing out subtleties that can make a difference. We don’t promise that you will build a rockstar board (whatever that is). But we do think we can help you make the board better. We will help you understand why some of the things you are doing now are critical to effective functioning. And we will undoubtedly provide some ideas that you hadn’t fully considered to make your board even better.
