Ithaca Human Services Coalition April Programs

"The Board and the Chief Executive: Strengthening the Governance Partnership" with Roger Sibley and Scott Heyman.No charge for this roundtable discussion. For chief executives of non-profit and governmental agencies and for the board members with whom they work most closely. This will be a roundtable discussion, not one of the Coalition's workshops. There will be no slides, no lecture, and no fee. Roger and Scott will lead an interactive discussion focused on only two topics: 1) The role of governance in creating a high-impact non-profit agency and 2) the better practices the chief executive and her/his board partners can employ to create good governance. Most of the session will be spent in mutual coaching about how to overcome obstacles that are preventing you and your board from reaching your goals.Thursday, April 22, 2010, from 9:00 - 11:00 am at Cornell Cooperative Extension Conference Room C, 615 Willow Ave, Ithaca.
