Oversight. Insight. Vision.
Boards of non-profit, social enterprise, and public institutions have additional challenges beyond for-profit boards: Directors advocate for specific stakeholder groups; connecting with donor and funding bodies. Ongoing turnover on Committees, membership and volunteers, all require vigilance.
Governance of public agencies, social enterprises, professional and industry associations and post-secondary requires clear structure, defined responsibilities and sound decision-making policy.
Board Evaluations
How effective are your governance practices today, and are you ready for what’s ahead? We perform practice and policy audits, evaluate decision-making, review secretariat functions, provide Chair and Board-level feedback, best-practices insight, and improvement priorities.
Governance Orientation
Our interactive workshop focused on expanding the knowledge of Board members on governance basics, board trends, and best practices. By sharing the actual experiences of other organizations, the Finley team engages participants in improving their understanding of a Board’s governance role.
360° Director Evaluations
Assessments of individual director capabilities, including 360 feedback surveys, feedback and coaching sessions, and skills development plans. Support to Board Chair for gap assessment and Director recruiting.
Board Secretariat
Ensure efficient use of Board time establishing and Management Advisory bodies; drafting policy; monitoring and reporting performance measures; enabling executive performance reviews; manage the annual calendar and the logistics of the Board, Committee meetings, and the Annual General Meeting; prepare agendas and materials package distributions.
