Board Governance Training & Development  in Community and Government

Truly effective partnerships require a clear definition of the distinctive roles of the partners and the boundaries between them. In the board/staff partnership, a proper division of labor is essential. The violation of the boundaries will, over time, erode the trust, mutual support and good communications that are essential for any partnership to succeed.

The 10 Basic Roles of an Effective Board are:

1. Determine the organization’s mission & purpose
2. Select the chief executive
3. Support the chief executive and assess his or her performance
4. Ensure effective organizational planning
5. Ensure adequate resources
6. Exercise fiduciary responsibility & oversight
7. Determine, monitor and strengthen the organization’s programs &  services
8. Enhance the organization’s public standing
9. Ensure legal and ethical integrity and maintain accountability
10. Recruit and orient new board members & assess board performance
