Is Your Board The Best It Can Be

Hi,

Up here in BC we celebrated our British Columbia Day long weekend. For some of you who are leading schools, you are shutting down and taking a well deserved summer break. However, before you board up the windows (no pun intended), take a moment to think about how you can improve the performance of your board. Remember, great school starts at the top!! Is your board performing at its best? If not, please read over the following.

=============================================
Board Performance Workshop and Online Survey
=============================================

Are you looking for a Workshop and Approach that will improve the Performance of Your Board?

During the past 10 years, I've worked with many independent schools such as PreK-12 University Prep, Special Needs, Single Gender, Co-Ed, International, Boarding, and ESL. They were all trying to develop a Board Governance model that focused trustees on the critical pillars of exceptional boards, but they weren't firing on all cylinders.

If your board isn’t performing as effectively as you wish, or you want to make it even better, you are not alone. Discover a new way to help your trustees become an exceptional governance unit – quickly, measurably, and easily. The solution is my…

Board Performance Workshop & Online Survey
============================================

Let Me Ask You A Few Questions.

As the Chair, Trustee, or Senior Administrator of a Private School, does your board experience any of the following:

- Trustee behaviour that is unproductive and not aligned with your mission;
- Board agenda that is controlled by crisis rather than a clear vision;
- Board committees that exist only because they have always been there, not because they’re needed;
- No link between budget, tuition setting, or a long-term plan;
- Blurring of boundaries and channels between the roles of the Board and Administration;
- Unsure of how to move your Board and school to the next level;
- Board commitment greater than you would like it to be and has become too taxing and stressful; Inability to attract and keep good trustees.

Well, if one or more (maybe all) of these apply to you, and you know in your heart that you really deserve to work with an effective, positive board of governors, and you would like to know how to do it, then you need a tested and proven system to do it.

- You’re provided use of a confidential Online Board Self-Assessment Survey for each board member that analyzes critical governance issues (It can also be expanded to other staff)
- An in-depth analysis of the survey-questionnaire in a detailed report to each trustee
- 1-on-1 interview with each trustee to identify the strengths, weakness, opportunities, and threats to the boards’ performance and the school
- A workshop where the issues that arise from the questionnaire and interviews are analyzed and solved
- Participation in relevant case studies that review Best Board Practices
- Facilitated workshop that assists the board in developing an action plan to close the performance gap
- A report that summarizes the survey results and your action plan to improved board performance
- A written summary of the board’s key issues and the resulting action plans
