Building Boards that Produce

Does your board produce? This module offers a framework for highly effective boards. It provides senior staff and board members (ideally together) insight on building board effectiveness and organizational productivity. A great board is a blessing to everyone who supports, works for or benefits from the organization. Any board can be a great board, but that greatness doesn’t arise from the individual talent of board members, or of the CEO or executive director.
