Best-in-class leaders increasingly realize that their governance model\, organizational culture\, and strategic plan are intertwined\, and that effective governance leads to long-term mission success. Based on research detailed in his critically acclaimed book\, The CEO and the Board: The Art of Nonprofit Governance as a Competitive Advantage\, Dr. Senske will lead an interactive dialogue on key topics. Participants will discuss how to chart their organizations’ desired destination with their own unique roadmap\, the changing role of the board given post-COVID shifts\, effective strategic planning in a rapidly changing external environment\, and a scorecard to determine if their governance model is indeed a mission advantage. \nPresenter: Kurt Senske\, founder and principal\, CEO-Board Services \nNetworking Activity: Motown Museum\nMotown Museum is the heartbeat of the Motown legacy—a destination for music and history fans. It celebrates the authentic story of Motown\, from its humble beginnings to its emergence as the “Sound of Young America” and beyond.
