Notes de l'éditeur
This presentation looks at the distinction between a committee and a Board of Directors. Much of this content relates to a corporation, LLC or a non-profit organization. A good portion of this information was provided by Dr. McNamara, MBA, PhD, partner in Authenticity Consulting, LLC and the www.managementhelp.org website.
CEOs are Chief Executive Officers who often find themselves running an organization (for profit or not-for-profit) with the input of a committee or task force. This advice contributes to the information that person will share to the Board of Directors. A legal entity, such as a corporation, will use a Board of Directors to benefit shareholders and to provide leadership direction for the company.
Serving as a board member is one of the most challenging and rewarding of volunteer assignments. While appointment or election to a board is an honor, board members have important legal and fiduciary responsibilities that require a commitment of time, skill, and resources. Prospective board members do themselves a service by asking some basic questions about an organization. What is the organization’s mission? Can I visit the organization to observe a program firsthand? Does the organization have a strategic plan that is reviewed and evaluated on a regular basis? Is the financial condition of the organization sound? Does the board discuss and approve the annual budget? How often do board members receive financial reports? How is the board structured? Who are the other board members? Is there a system of checks and balances to prevent conflicts of interest between board members and the organization? How can I contribute as a board member? How much time is required for meetings and special events? How are committee assignments made? What orientation will I receive to the organization and to the responsibilities of board service? Will I be expected to make a specific annual financial contribution? What are my impressions of the organization's newsletter, brochure or other publications?Have I reviewed a brief biography of the chief executives in the organization?
We are moving towards a need to pick affiliations that propel us to greater achievements and connections that contribute to our lives. When joining a committee or board of directors, be sure there is a good sense about the group’s objectives and ways to prevent a conflict of interest.
Role of a Chairperson for the Board of Directors
Assigning work responsibilities to committee members will set the agenda as to how a meeting is ran. This ensures proper distribution of meeting minutes and the roles in a task force or committee.
Supervisors rarely get to understand the advance role that a Secretary and Treasurer of a Board provides. It is important to get board members to know the employees who respond to policies and financial operations of the business.
Is the mission statement easy to understand. How does this statement benefit the clients or constituents? How can a mission statement be structured so that it clearly identifies a conflict of interest for loyalty with the Board of Directors and employees hired by an organization.
What is your mission statement? Does it serve the board, shareholders, the owners of a company or the customers. Good luck in your leadership development skills. If you have questions about this material, contact Sonja Onthank of OMG at 503-975-3684.
