Cultivating Six Essential Competencies of High Performing Boards

Research on nonprofit boards by Jackson and Holland led them to define six dimensions of board competency that describe essential elements of effective governance. High performing boards exhibit behaviors that are: contextual, educational, interpersonal, analytical, political, and strategic. In this session we’ll learn about each of these behaviors and concrete activities your board might adopt to improve its performance.
