These aspects help the organization’s leaders to answer the questions: Where are we going compared to where we said we would be? How do we measure up and how well have we mitigated our risks and acted on our opportunities? How well did the Board and CEO/Executive Director perform? How well are our policies working? and How are we doing compared to the budget?
Covers:
- The Board’s role in performance oversight

Friday, August 18th: Role of the Board in Communication & Innovation
Boards tend to cross the line between governance and operations when it comes to the “fun” parts of the operations, such as connecting with stakeholders or coming up with new ideas for how to operate the business. Few organizations draw a clear line here! This session is designed to focus on the communication and innovation elements of governance – “where does the role of the board start and where does it stop?”
Covers:
- Innovation at the board level
- Accountability and reporting to stakeholders
- Transparency, clarity, and accountability
- Disclosure Dilemma
- The public: connecting with our communities, acting in the public interest, community needs, and ESG
