The Governance Bridge: 1-Day Board Intensive
The Governance Bridge: 1-Day Board Intensive
Many non-profit and municipal boards struggle with the "gray zone" between governance and management. Meetings get bogged down in operational details, roles become unclear, and strategic oversight often takes a backseat to firefighting.
We solve this with a structured, 8 hour on-site intensive designed to reset your Board of Directors. We move beyond academic theory to practical application, clarifying exactly where the Board’s authority ends and the Executive’s work begins.
