Governance101.com is a website that uses ideas described in A Framework for Governance (c) 2017 to explain situations, problems, and solutions that may be encountered and/or explored by governing boards. An effective board fulfills its responsibilities in four areas. It must:
- Be ready as a board to fulfill its role
- Provide a strategic voice for (and to) the organization
- Give operational guidance to the organization
- Deliver accountability for the organization
Every governing board…
- Has a strategic role that can and should be clearly defined, with responsibility, authority and accountability in balance;
- Has choices in how it approaches the job;
- Can improve its own performance through intentional professional development and steady, consistent application of values and attitudes that support effective governance; knowledge of effective governance principles; and skill at performing critical governance tasks.
