Governance & Board Development
Effective governance is crucial to the success of your organization. And over time, as your organization changes, your governance structures and processes may need to change too.
How do you know if you need to make changes to your governance procedures? Ask yourself these questions:
- Does your Board have a clear understanding of its core governance functions?
- Does it have sufficient focus on governance issues compared to operational issues?
- Does it have a plan for improving the governance of your organization?
- Is it focused on the key issues and operating effectively?
If you answered NO to any of these questions, it might be time to take a look at your Board’s operation and consider areas for improvement.

Absolutely Amazing
The ArtHeart Board has approved the strategic plan and is in the process of setting up committees and actually doing the items within the plan — so it's underway. You were absolutely amazing in guiding us through the process.
