System-wide Governance for Community Empowerment May 14, 2009

Why is it that problem boards always seem to be a top concern for nonprofits? New alternative models are urgently needed and are currently being developed around the country.

This highly interactive workshop will help participants learn about community-engagement governance, an innovative new governance framework built upon principles of inclusiveness, participatory democracy, self-determination and genuine partnership. It is an approach in which governance responsibility is shared across the organizational system among the key sectors of an organization, including its constituents/community, staff and board, focused on community impact. Participants will learn how to adapt this model to their own organizations.

For this advanced workshop, board members and executive directors are strongly urged to attend together as a team.
