Description

This virtual edition of Exceptional Boards is an online workshop for CEOs and elected officers. Delivered live and highly interactive with plenty of time to process what your team is learning, the program fosters effective governance and optimizes the entire board as a cohesive unit through best practices in board organization, structure, and operations. Discover the insight and resources you need to build a high-performing board that understands its role, fulfills its responsibility, demonstrates visionary leadership, and leads the organization to new heights.

Beyond tapping the knowledge and expertise of the program facilitators, you'll connect more deeply with your leadership team as you engage in private team discussions, utilizing online breakout room capability. Additionally, the program harnesses group interaction through polls and chats. CEOs and elected officers will:

Develop strategies to build a cohesive board
Explore strategies for effective virtual board meetings
Analyze the board’s key governing functions and primary responsibilities
Use effective management principles in orientation/onboarding, communicating, managing conflict, and structuring board meetings
Understand implications of associations’ maturity lifecycle
Evaluate implications of different types of boards (operational, strategic, generative) and management models

Examine legal duties of the board and board members and reinforce accountability for fiduciary responsibilities
Create a leadership team action plan using assessment and analysis
Leverage characteristics and habits of high-performing boards and avoid common board dysfunctions
Enhance the process of decision making and decision quality using future-focused foresight to anticipate change and set strategic direction.
