NON-PROFIT BOARD DEVELOPMENT

Board Policy Development Training

(1 DAY)

Strong board governance starts with a good foundation.  This training walks you through how to build one of the key foundational elements for a board – a Board Policy Manual.  Attendees can use the training to update and improve existing board policy documents or to create a Board Policy Manual from scratch.  Board policies are a fiduciary necessity and capturing them in a Board Policy Manual is an excellent board development tool.

  • Board policies are often relegated to the bottom of the priority list while boards deal with what they see as more pressing issues.  By taking a step back and developing a Board Policy Manual, boards will discover that many of the pressing issues they are dealing with are a result of not having good board policies and practices in place.  This training helps stop this cycle, which gives boards a system and the tools to build on.

  • This interactive training will result in a Board Policy Manual for each attendee that is customized to their organization.  Session topics include:

    • Why do we need a Board Policy Manual?

      • How a Board Policy Manual relates to other foundational corporate documents

      • How board policies differ from operational and administrative policies

      • The key elements of a Board Policy Manual

      • How a Board Policy Manual should be used

      • Key topics for boards to agree on upfront

      • How the board should manage itself

      • How the board should manage and communicate with the Executive Director

      • Policies boards need to have in place to give direction to the Executive Director

      • Other elements of best-practice board governance such as committee mandates, work plans, surveys, and compliance checks

  • Board Chairs, Governance Committee Chairs, Executive Directors, or CEOs of non-profit boards.
