Our Mission: Ensuring Board Directors feel successful

Through close collaboration with our clients, we help non-profit Board Directors, Chairs, CEOs, and Executive Directors gain a deeper understanding of their roles and responsibilities. We emphasize that Boards should focus on setting the route and steering the course, while Chief Executives concentrate on rowing the boat in that chosen direction, propelling the organization forward.

Partner with us to strengthen your organization.

Our Approach: Elevating Board governance through practical application of proven methods

A Collaborative Method

Governance work can be complex (and, let’s be honest, a bit dry), but we make it engaging by creating a fun, collaborative environment. Through personalized, in-person and virtual interactions, we build strong relationships and guide clients with proven processes and tools. This approach ensures they gain valuable knowledge and practical experience in effective Board governance.

Best Practices

Our “Governance Best Practice” approach and “Leadership-Centered Governance Model” are based on the principles and practices of highly effective non-profit Boards across British Columbia and North America. Our methodology, training materials and tools are anchored in proven fundamentals refined over the past four decades.
