Unlocking Your Board’s Potential: Policy Governance® for United Ways


Every board has the potential to advance the work of their United Way, however all too often boards fail to unlock that potential due to lack of direction, micro-management, limited engagement, and apathy. But the problem is unlikely to be your board members or your executive director, and more likely to be the way your board operates.

Our new webinar, Unlocking Your Board’s Potential: Policy Governance for United Ways, will introduce you to the Policy Governance model for board governance and how it can transform the work of your board. In this 75-minute webinar, you will:

  • Understand the basics of Policy Governance and how it differs from what your board is doing currently

  • Explore how Policy Governance overcomes four challenges facing most United Way boards: lack of direction, micro-management, limited engagement, and apathy

  • See examples of how Policy Governance could work in your United Way

  • Learn how your United Way can implement Policy Governance

Unlocking Your Board’s Potential: Policy Governance for United Ways is designed for United Way executive directors and Presidents/CEOs as well as your board leadership. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions about the Policy Governance model as well as share challenges and concerns your board is facing at your United Way.

Join us on Wednesday, October 16th at 2 p.m. ET for this 75-minute webinar. This webinar is free, however attendance will be limited to 100 participants to allow for sharing and questions.
