WEBINAR DETAILS
Is your typical board meeting the oft-cited “true definition of insanity” - are you doing the same thing every month and expecting a different result? Is your board meeting a well-structured and enjoyable use of your time or are you constantly fatigued? Does your current governance model, agenda, and rules of order create the most efficient process or set you up for frustration? Are you creating strategy, or are you “stuck in the weeds” of tactics?
