What A Week

Just got back from Atlanta after attending the Policy Governance Academy with Dr John and Miriam Carver. It was a dream come true for someone like me who has been so passionate about the model. Now I am ready to really make sure our organization is model cosistent. I also feel qualified to begin helping other boards who also struggle with the many governance issues common to non profits.

The fourteen of us who took the training constituted the 20th year of the Academy. I also enjoyed getting to know the others attended. The class was comprised of people from all over the U.S. and Canada.

Anyone who is serious about Policy Governance should make it their goal to attend.

I have not posted anything on this site for a long time. It seems like the interested parties in my world on the subject of governance are very few. However, it seems fitting to post something today since I am here now in Atlanta all week to receive training from the founder/inventor of the model Dr. John Carver.

I hope to be challenged and inspired this week to make our organization even better. Good leadership begins with the board. The better the board does its work, the better the staff and volunteers can do theirs.
