The second session will focus on Evaluating CEO and Board Performance.
Most Boards recognize that ensuring rigorous and fair assessment of CEO performance is a critical function. They are often challenged, however, by the lack of clear criteria in place by which to assess executive performance. Similarly, one of the healthiest behaviors exhibited by boards committed to accountability is that they assess their own performance.
This webinar will explore methods to establish criteria and performance measures in a way that dramatically reduces the surprises and drama that often cause strife and dysfunctional Board/executive relationships.
Participants gain understanding of:
· Three key methods of collecting performance data.
· The role of “interpretations” in delegation and performance monitoring, and how they can optimize alignment of priorities between Board and CEO.
· The types of policies and standards boards should set for themselves.
· Methods to assess four key areas of Board performance: Meeting Assessment, Overall Board Performance, Policy Review, and Individual Board Member Participation

Officer’s Forum
CLICK HERE to register
This session will focus on an Officer's Forum.
For many boards of directors, the roles of officers are steeped in tradition. Wearing the traditional board officer “hats” in the demanding environments (health care and fiduciary) in which hospital boards operate today not only falls short of enhancing accountability and success – they can actually work to their detriment! This webinar looks at the role of Board officers and the CEO with a modern lens, illustrating ways lay-leaders can effectively serve their boards and communities, adding to their boards’ governance effectiveness. Common/traditional bylaws language defining officers’ roles will be explored, and examples of alternatives offered.
