Definitions of governance
Governance deals with the processes and systems by which an organization or society operate.
Different governance models
Non-profit boards tend to follow one of five different approaches to governance. Each approach emphasizes different dimensions of the roles and responsibilities of the board.
Governance framework
At the heart of the board’s governance, should be the core documents that guide the organization (bylaws, articles of incorporation).
Board policies
An effective policy is meant to provide a course of action, a principle, or a protocol that will guide decisions and help achieve rational outcomes.
Board Policies: Code of Conduct
The board commits itself and its members to ethical and businesslike conduct. This includes proper use of authority and appropriate decorum when acting as board members.
Board Policies: Conflict of Interest
A Conflict of Interest Policy will help you ensure that a conflict of interest does not exist, or does not appear to exist, between your organization and any of your volunteers.
