Board policies are the guidelines describing the expectations for meetings, board members, the board, staff and volunteers. As a board member, how do you know what you are supposed to do? Do you leave meetings feeling that your time was well used, the board got a lot of work done, and it was a meaningful use of your time? If not, your board could use some policy development. Every board today is expected to have a Board Manual that provides a guide to how they will conduct their business and provide accountability and transparency to their stakeholders.
Learning outcomes include:
- Differences and similarities between Constitution, Bylaws and Policy
- How clear policy makes meeting effective and efficient
- Using policy to orient new members and create common ground
- A pathway to decision making that can reduce conflict
- A reference for board behavior, accountability and transparency
- How to create and utilize a Board Policy manual.
