Why Governance Training Matters
Strong governance supports strategy, protects mission, and sustains impact. JADE’s approach to board and governance development combines structural best practices with human dynamics—so leaders can lead effectively and cohesively.
Training Can Include
- Board roles, responsibilities, and ethical obligations
- Governance culture and communication clarity
- Decision-making and voting protocols
- Bylaws interpretation and application
- CEO/ED and board chair partnership models
- Onboarding and succession planning for trustees
- Handling conflict and transition in leadership bodies
Designed for Real Boards in Real Time
Our training isn’t one-size-fits-all. We adapt to your structure—working with large working boards, policy boards, new startup boards, or multi-sector coalitions.
Training often follows an assessment phase where we identify cultural norms, power dynamics, clarity issues, or legacy tensions that impact effectiveness.
Delivery Options
What Boards Walk Away With
- Clearer understanding of their roles and boundaries
- Shared tools for navigating hard conversations and decisions
- Clarity around strategy, operations, and accountability
