Governance

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
The College of Optometrists of British Columbia guides and regulates all optometrists registered win the province to ensure the public is provided with safe, ethical and effective optometric services.
