Best Practices for Independent School Governance

virtual

Independent schools are in a constant state of improvement and change. Board members act as guides and champions for the school’s growth. Equipping those trustees with the knowledge and tools necessary to fulfill their governance responsibilities effectively is essential. This workshop is designed to offer valuable takeaways for all trustees—whether you are a new board member seeking foundational insights or an experienced trustee looking for a refresher on best practices, this workshop offers valuable takeaways for all.

The program contains two sessions:

Foundations of Good Governance This session will focus on the essential roles and responsibilities of independent school board members. You will receive a comprehensive overview of governance structures, fiduciary duties, and strategic decision-making. Learn how to foster a collaborative partnership with school leadership to advance institutional goals.

Advanced Practices and Common Pitfalls Building on the foundational knowledge from the first session, we’ll dive into real-world scenarios and challenges commonly faced by independent school boards. Through interactive discussions and case studies, you will explore effective strategies for navigating complex governance issues and ensuring long-term school sustainability.

This workshop is an essential resource for independent school trustees committed to ensuring their schools thrive through strong governance practices.

Presented virtually, via Zoom.
