Networking over pizza begins at 5:00 pm, presentation from 5:30 to 7:00 pm

In today’s environment, boards of directors are working harder than ever to ensure their organizations remain viable. Facing decisions that balance changing and increasing needs with bottom lines, it’s easy to risk straying from mission. How do we know if our focus is on the key issues?

Top 5 reasons to conduct a board self-assessment:

1. To be mindful of baseline governance roles and responsibilities
2. To refocus on critical issues as they correspond to your organization’s age
3. To determine how to best lead during times of financial decline
4. To invigorate board participation and engagement
5. To make board meetings a life-giving and engaging process

Join Guadalupe Guajardo for a look at valuable assessment tools and how you can prepare for and conduct a self-assessment, and what to do with what you learn. Find out how to help your board members see this as an opportunity to create a foundation that supports the organization, and craft a process that encourages full and candid participation.
