At HRA we know that Boards of organizations are run by busy people who want their time and talents used efficiently and usefully, and who want to be fully accountable to their membership or the community.  Our governance consultant, Carol Gabanna is trained in the Policy Governance® model (often referred to as the Carver model).  Used by boards around the world, this system brings clarity to roles of the board and its staff as well as to the policy development process.

Carol can help boards of all types and sizes be clear on their role and delegate safely and responsibly to staff.  She offers training for board members in the Carver model, and helping boards apply a framework of logical principles that will optimize your organization’s progress, productivity and accountability, and minimize your risk by:

    
     Assessing current governance practices

     Leading governance workshops for board members

     Facilitating implementation of a comprehensive governance model

     Coaching for the board chair and CEO

     Consulting with boards regarding specific governance issues.
