Objectives Basic understanding of policy governance. Policy governance in relationship to other board responsibilities. Is policy governance right for your board?

Where did policy governance come from? John Carver created the Policy Governance Model in the mid 1970s. “Boards that Make a Difference” was published in 1990. Books, consulting organizations, and associations have helped develop and apply the model.

What is Policy Governance? A board governance and leadership system or model Integrated and coherent Focuses on the “how” of governance Separates governance from other board functions (e.g. advisory, fundraising)

What do we mean by governance? The board’s primary job is assuring that the organization produces the results expected by its owners using acceptable means. Board governance is how the board controls the organization to provide that assurance. The governing board should provide effective and ethical governance leadership on behalf of its owners’ interest to ensure that the organization focuses on its purpose and outcomes… (CARF) The purpose of governance is to ensure, usually on behalf of others, that an organization achieves what it should achieve while avoiding those behaviors and situations that should be avoided. (John Carver)

Why should you care? Better results – good intentions are not enough More effective boards and less dysfunction Ineffective or inefficient board meetings Rubber stamp for CEO decisions Micromanaging board of directors Lack of alignment

Ends Policies Who benefits? What are the benefits? What should it cost?

Executive Limitations Policies Imprudent Unethical Illegal What is not prohibited is acceptable.

Monitoring Is this your board? Do you believe this?

Monitoring Direct inspection by the board CEO report Outside audit Policy Interpretation Evidence Compliance (yes/no) Corrective Action

Board Policy Document Ends Policies Executive Limitations Policies Finance Compensation and benefits Employee projection Succession Board Governance Policies Governing Style Board job contribution Code of Conduct Officers and Committees Board – CEO Relationship Policies Delegation to the CEO CEO job contribution Monitoring executive performance
