The “role of fiduciary responsibility” is often where board meetings go to die, as directors fall into a “report-out” agenda with minimal Q&A that only consumes the board’s time and energy deliberating over what happened in the past. Today’s effective boards are devoting time to strategy and thinking about the credit union’s future. Contemporary, high-functioning boards do more than focus on fiduciary matters; they partner with the CEO to set the strategic direction for their credit unions—not just once a year at their annual strategic planning sessions, but every day.
How can you help your board shift focus? How can you discern a fiduciary question from a strategic or even a generative one? How do you identify and then recruit strategic thinkers to help build your future board? Quantum Governance CEO Jennie Boden will answer these questions and define strategies for increasing strategic-level dialogue that you can put into practice at your next board meeting.
