Dottie Schindlinger, VP of Governance Technology Evangelist at BoardEffect, presented on reframing issues to generate better board decisions. She discussed three modes of governance - fiduciary, strategic, and generative. Generative thinking helps boards see problems as opportunities. The presentation provided a framework for boards to perform a "sense-maker" role through strategies like establishing norms of respectful inquiry and making executive sessions routine. Attendees were encouraged to join breakout sessions at an upcoming nonprofit conference to further discuss generating better board decisions.

6. TITLE CARD
Independent Sector’s Principles for
Good Governance & Ethical Practice
WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPLES?
The Principles for Good Governance and Ethical Practice outlines 33
principles of sound practice for charitable organizations and
foundations related to legal compliance and public disclosure, effective
governance, financial oversight, and responsible fundraising.
The Principles should be considered by every charitable organization as
a guide for strengthening its effectiveness and accountability.
The Principles were developed by the Panel on the Nonprofit Sector in
2007 and updated in 2015 to reflect new circumstances in which the
charitable sector functions, and new relationships within and between
the sectors.

In addition to
oversight, boards need
to provide insight, and,
if possible, foresight.
