Board Governance
Board governance is a deciding component of organizational effectiveness and a crucial part of the functioning life of CSOs. Good governance ensures objectives are realized, resources are well managed, and the interests of stakeholders are protected and reflected in key decisions. After closer scrutiny of their internal governance, organizations often realize that their boards function in a less than ideal way, and more and more they are seeing the need to bring their governance up to contemporary standards. This course will address performance demands on CSO Boards. Board of directors must be credible, competent, and dedicated to the issues the organisation is addressing for the fundraising activities to be successful.
