ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Board committees can be a powerful governance tool for NFP CEOs — but only when they are used effectively.
In this episode of The NFP CEO, Michelle and Danielle discuss how CEOs can use committees to:
- Test business cases, recommendations and assumptions before they reach the board
- Keep operational detail out of the boardroom
- Strengthen board decision-making and assurance
- Avoid duplicating discussions between committees and the board
- Work effectively with committee chairs
- Use committees as a sounding board for complex issues
- Showcase executive capability and organisational bench strength
- Maintain clear terms of reference, roles and responsibilities
They also explore what to do when committees become too operational, how to avoid “no surprises” when reworking board papers, and how CEOs can help boards spend more time on strategy and less time on operational detail.
Topics: NFP governance, board committees, NFP CEOs, board governance, CEO and board relationships, committee terms of reference, strategic governance.
