Leading Change through Better Board Deliberation

Robin Hindsman, Senior Governance Consultant, BoardSource

Are your board meetings a spectator sport, or are they a participatory event? Does your board consistently engage in spirited discussion, or does it suffer from dysfunctional politeness? Is your board’s intellectual capital stifled?

This interactive session explores why highly disciplined processes may not be conducive to great decision making. How can boards deliberate differently, act differently, and structure their board meetings differently to allow board members to explore important issues? How can nonprofits support genuinely engaging and lively board interaction that will contribute to better board decisions?

This session will recalibrate your expectations of board dynamics.
