2024 GOVERN for IMPACT Conference

The relationship between a Board and its careholders is a complex and important one. The most successful Boards know that careholdership/ownership relations should be more than going through the motions. Like any good relationship, it takes work to build a base of respect, communication, and shared values. Improving engagement with your careholdership/ownership is an opportunity for the Board to increase the focus and relevance of the organization’s purpose and its intended effects/outcomes and to clarify who it serves. Clear and consistent communication with careholders gives the Board ongoing insight into changes in the environment. We all know “why we engage the careholdership”, but we need to know more about “how” to do it. What does it look like to have meaningful conversations? Learn key strategies that will help guide intentional relationships. Learn how to leverage that connection to define Ends Policy expectations that connect to your careholdership/ownership values.
