More in Good Governance

An effective policy is meant to provide a course of action, a principle, or a protocol that will guide decisions and help achieve rational outcomes.

The process of succession planning is helpful in ensuring the organization remains effective in meeting the needs of an evolving, sustainable organization.

Board Policies: Code of Conduct

The board commits itself and its members to ethical and businesslike conduct. This includes proper use of authority and appropriate decorum when acting as board members.
