Board Operations & Systems
Board Operations & Systems
Project details
What we need
- Assessment of existing board procedure, policy, set of guidelines, or system
- Creation of one document outlining one procedure, policy, operations, or set of guidelines, for example: bylaws, board meeting procedure, succession planning guidelines, committee policies, board member orientation handbook, etc.
Additional details
I need help developing reports for the board that are digestable, actionable, and are connected to governance. Currently our reports are long, detailed, and easy for them to get lost in the weeds. I want to create a format for staff reporting to the board AND for board committees to report out to the rest of the board through a single format that can be included as information in the minutes.
What we have in place
- We currently have existing agenda format, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have room in the agenda for reports to be presented, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $10,298 , allowing us to hire admin contracter to support logistics coordination across the org.
Our Board is growing and becoming more intergral to the work of the org. They need to know what going on and be able to access records of whats going on pre and post meeting.
