Building Stronger, More Successful Boards
At The Governance Group, we offer specialized governance consulting services and targeted Board governance training workshops to equip non-profit Boards with the tools they need for success. Our focus is on helping Board Directors understand their roles and responsibilities to enhance their effectiveness and stay energized in the job.
Our commitment to making governance training both impactful and engaging is what drives us and sets us apart. We employ a supportive, process-driven approach to ensure Boards not only understand best practices but also remain motivated to apply them. With over 20 years of senior leadership experience and a proven track record in consulting, we are here to help your Board excel.
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.

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.
