A partnership program with Saint Anselm College Center for Ethics in Society

Good governance has not just become increasingly complex in our unpredictable and rapidly changing environment, it has also become paramount to an organization’s ability to make an impact. The most effective nonprofit boards move far beyond being good fiduciaries and cultivate a culture where long held assumptions are challenged, tough questions are asked, and ethical grey areas are explored. Board roles, structure, composition, and practices are important, but all are eclipsed by culture and dynamics. 

Nonprofit leaders have an obligation to ask questions that lead to more meaningful discourse and to the anticipation of both the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. 

• Does your board’s culture invite robust discussion on important matters? 
• Is it willing to ask the hard questions? 
• Does it wrestle with the toughest issues facing your organization? 
• Who defines ethics and holds board members accountable?
• How would you know if your board was truly inclusive?  

Using actual case studies and concrete tools and practices, we will learn from other boards’ experiences (both good and bad!) and apply those lessons to our own boards. Join us for a highly interactive session where we will collectively: 

• Explore key elements of a healthy board room culture 
• Deepen our understanding of how culture can help boards leverage the best thinking of board members both individually and collectively
• Learn some concrete techniques and tools to help your board become more intentional about culture and dynamics.

About the Presenter

Susan Meier, Principal at Susan Meier and Associates, brings over 30 years of governance and nonprofit experience to her work. From 2004 to 2011, Susan served as the vice president of consulting and training for BoardSource, the nation's premier governance resource for nonprofit organizations. She works collaboratively with nonprofit executives and board leadership to identify governance challenges and opportunities and to implement proven strategies to address a broad array of governance issues and needs and the work of high performing boards.

Much of Susan’s work has focused on increasing board engagement, enhancing the strategic work of the board, board/staff relations, and leadership transitions. Specifically, she engages boards in a deeper understanding of roles and responsibilities, strategic and generative thinking, concrete ways to maximize board meetings, and addressing culture and dynamics in the boardroom. Her tenure at BoardSource and her 13 years as a senior executive at Prevent Child Abuse America have given her concrete experience in understanding the complex and unique challenges of foundations, associations, and federated organizations and structures. Susan also has extensive experience in facilitating sensitive and important conversations and in helping boards build on their strengths to become higher performing boards.

Funding for the Center for Ethics' "Ethics in Governance Forum" comes from a $2 million endowment created by the N.H. Secretary of State's Office and the Center for Public Responsibility and Corporate Citizenship awarded to Saint Anselm College in 2013. The endowment was created from a settlement reached between the New Hampshire Securities Bureau and Tyco International, LTD in 2002 and is administered by the University of New Hampshire Foundation.
