D4 - Essentials of a Governing Board - Emily Versteeg

The importance of a strong effective church board cannot be overemphasized. Left unchecked, even minor board neglect can eventually intrude upon the accountability and effectiveness of the church. While the board has the broad responsibilities of being well informed, committed to board service, assuring financial vibrancy of the church and charting the long -range strategy of the church; it also has key routine responsibilities that require very specific actions be routinely performed. During this workshop we will discuss these 10 essential responsibilities that will help your church’s governing board protect the integrity of the church and enhance an environment of accountability.
