Governance Module 5 – Board Meetings and Decision-Making

A board’s meeting time is essential to good governance – not only in terms of the decisions made, but also related to the interactions with management, the opportunity to listen to each other, to set the tone and to forge a strong team. This course will help boards to have effective, efficient and uplifting board meetings.

Description


 

Course structure

The course is designed to be completed as a module that is part of the suite of governance training courses. However, boards can access individual topic modules as needed.

These short-courses can be undertaken by individual board members, or be completed as a board together. The modules are kept short so boards can fit the training into their busy board calendars.

The training builds on the materials covered in the Board Induction Course, and this is a useful pre-requisite to the governance modules.

Outcomes

As a result of participating in this course, participants will understand:

  • The basic requirements for board meetings
  • The different types of meetings the board may be responsible for
  • Proper process for meetings
  • The postures that contribute to meetings being effective
  • A biblical perspective on decision-making
  • The role of consensus in board decisions
  • How to approach difficult decisions
