Event Description

Title
Board Governance Plans: What Are They and How Do They Help?

Presenters
Jen and Tim Rusk, Nonprofit Consultants, Rusk Coaching & Consulting

This session focuses on exploring the benefits of a Board Governance Plan that clearly communicates the expectations, responsibilities, and protocols for all those involved in the governance function of a nonprofit. A Board Governance Plan is an opportunity for board members to define their culture, agree on how they will work together, set up how they will measure their success, establish an orientation process, and calendar the work they need to do over the course of a year. A Board Governance Plan removes the guesswork on how the board functions and creates a plan for the board’s work that persists through board leadership changes. Attendees will have time in the session to work in teams to draft elements of a plan they could support.
