Design your board’s Standing Committees to become engines of effective, collaborative governance.

This presentation provides all the information you'll need to put into place Standing Committees that will help turn your Governing Board into a higher-impact leadership body, working collaboratively with the CEO on the truly high-stakes issues facing your organization.

The program teaches simple-to-apply keys for designing a committee structure that parallels board decision-making streams, divides complex issues into manageable chunks, and turns board members into satisfied owners of their work.

Drawn from Doug's 25 years of real-world experience with hundreds of nonprofit organizations, this 30-minute program covers such topics as:

• The nature of high-impact governing work
• The three streams of governing decision making
• An overview of committees—their roles, structure and benefits
• A model committee structure that powers the work of the board
• Detailed functional description of each committee
