Poll on Governance
Do you have good governance in place? “What is good governance?”, you ask.
At a very basic level good governance means the organization is effective: realistic outcomes are set and achieved, resources are the right ones and well managed, and the interests of stakeholders are reflected in key decisions.
Good governance is not only about being effective; it is how that effectiveness is achieved. The board’s approach to governance will play a key role in creating the climate and culture of the non-profit workplace.
If you checked “all of the above” or if you have other governance issues or comments you want to make, click here to send us a confidential email. Please put governance issue in the subject line.
