Good Governance in the Charity Board Room with Howard Exton-Smith

A strong and supportive board is an asset to any charity and can be of great value to the chief executive.  With capable, committed people round the board table, a culture of engagement, understanding and support can be developed, giving cover in the bad times and celebrating success in the good times. 

Developing a truly effective board takes planning, time and focus.  It’s a continual journey, rather than a one-off event.  This half-day workshop is a must for those wishing to build an effective board or those helping their board with succession planning and governance strengthening. 

The workshop will consider: 

• The governance landscape – what are the challenges we face? 

• Resilience - what do we need from our board in today’s world? 

• Sustainability and succession - what needs to happen to build and retain the board we need?
