How to
Keep Board Members Informed
Good governance depends on enlightened decision
making. Board members in turn need to be knowledgeable
about the organization's status and needs if they are to
make sound decisions that advance its mission. But
boards often say that the information they receive
hinders rather than facilitates good governance and
strong leadership. They protest that they are
overwhelmed with large quantities of irrelevant
information, that they don't get enough information, or
that they receive material too late to devote serious
attention to it. An effective board information system
should focus decision making, stimulate participation,
and support an appropriate balance of responsibility
between board and staff.
