Sustaining Governance Excellence – Leading Through Governance Lifecycles READY, SET, GO! ….SUSTAIN?
Friday June 20, 2025 11:25am - 12:35pm EDT
You are convinced of the value of Policy Governance®. You know the work starts with good, solid, initial training in Policy Governance for you and your fellow Board Members. You have been well trained. The calendar has been prioritized in line with your Board commitments. Your Board gets that done… check! – now what?
 
Then real life happens.

Your Board at times falls back into some non-Policy Governance and ineffective governance ways of behaving. Life on the Board becomes a series of hills and valleys. How do you keep the journey going toward excellence? What kind of “Board GPS” do you need to navigate the Board’s sometimes uneven travel? What it comes down to is this: How will a Board sustain its focus, creativity, and effectiveness after that first burst of enthusiasm and discipline.

This session explores needed, effective, and feasible ways to “keep the fires burning” and "stay on track” so that governance excellence is always “top of mind.” We will examine tools, resources, and activities a Board can use as it moves along its cycle and encounters those hills and valleys.
Those who attend this session will:
  • Articulate their understanding of the value-added contributions of Policy Governance in creating a coherent and effective system of governance.
  • Identify foundational steps in preparing a board to adopt and use Policy Governance.
  • Explore obstacles that can weaken a board’s embrace of Policy Governance after its initial commitment to it.
  • Develop resources and tactics for addressing and correcting situations in which a Policy Governance board falls back into previous ways of acting so that excellence and effectiveness in governance may endure.
