Webinar: "Active Governance: How to Actualize Boards' Best Intentions"

With heightened scrutiny on the nonprofit sector, leaders aim to enhance transparency and accountability throughout their organizations, especially at the board level.

Despite best intentions, good governance practices can be thwarted by insufficient data, inability to access information, poor communication, and lack of clarity about roles, strategies, and even mission. Through a model of active governance, boards can meet their responsibilities in mission achievement, as well as risk management, oversight and evaluation.

This webinar provided a robust framework for active governance, particularly in the context of today’s landscape, and introduce new tools for supporting it.

Topics included:

-An understanding of what active governance is and how to achieve it through the creation of a framework for enterprise visibility, easily digestible for the board
-A Review of implications for mission, strategies, communications, and decision-making
-An introduction of select e-governance vehicles, such as board portals, to promote active governance.
