Chamber Webinar: Get Clear On Your Board's Role

Often, new directors are elected to a board and their only training session is their first board meeting.  They are expected to immediately understand their role and rarely are trained to develop within that role.
 
In this one-hour live webinar, Deb McClelland, with OnBoard Training, provides Greater Vernon Chamber members with an introduction to governance training by helping attendees understand their role as a board of directors.

The following key areas will be explored with your board of directors:
 
Guiding Principles
What is the board’s role as a governing body?  What are the principles that guide a board’s authority?
 
Governance versus Operations
Where does the board fit in the overall picture of your organization?  What is the job description for the board? At what level does the board get involved with operations?
