Governance – AOR Solutions

Focus on accountability and growth.

Is your board spending too much time on operational issues?

Is there a lack of clarity on the role of the board versus the role of management?

Are board members engaged or do they “rubber stamp” recommendations by the Executive Director?

Does the board have in place effective processes and policies to ensure success?

We provide the skills, processes and support required to help boards refocus on their governance role, including:

Board skill training and development
Governance models and organizational reviews
Support for transitioning to policy governance
Board policy development
Operations policy development
By-law development

Our Experience

In 2018 the Computers for Schools Plus program received ongoing core funding from Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) with an emphasis on continuous improvement, effective distribution strategies and strengthened partnerships. As part of this emphasis on continuous improvement, ISED needed to support the 14 non-profit affiliates funded under the program by exploring best practices for non-profit success.
