Board Governance

Board governance is of vital importance for every organization.  It’s the term that comprises the systems and processes governing the behavior of a board of directors and the organization they represent, the scope of responsibilities of the board themselves, and a framework for board decision-making. Simply put, board governance describes what boards do and how they do it.
