SUMMARY:Phi Club: Broken Engagement - Why Has Our Board Checked Out? How Do We Fix It? (Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Many organizations face the challenge of engaging their board members appropriately. In this interactive session\, we discuss how engagement starts before a board member commits and is a journey that continues even as they leave the board. We will help leaders assess and understand why board engagement falters at every stage. Participants will be given tools to diagnose what is engagement for their board\, whether in recruiting\, board structure\, meetings\, or culture. Finally\, we will explore the key elements of a highly engaged and effective board and how to maintain it. \nSpeaker: \nRena Henderson Mason\, Founder and Chief Engagement Officer\, Bold Agenda \nREGISTER HERE
