This free webcast on October 25, from 2-3:30 EST, will present a discussion of board renewal through long-term and long lasting strategies rather than the quick fix, short and fleeting approaches. Topics to be discussed include changing "the work" of the board so it becomes more meaningful and engaging, increasing the board’s connection to the community, and transforming board meetings from information exchange to strategic and generative work.
