Governance and Leadership Virtual Seminar: Planning for the Future

About

Planning for the future makes it easier to adapt to unforeseen challenges in uncertain times. Whether it is planning for leadership succession or identifying a new strategic direction, planning for the future provides adaptive frameworks and technical practices for boards to use through times of transition. By the end of this module participants will be able to:

• Name different strategies to make high-level decisions through a clear decision-making process
• Discuss how planning for the future can help the foundation adapt during uncertain times.

Complement your learning with a copy of the Trustee Handbook: Essentials for Effective Foundation Board Members.
