Elevating the Board Chair and Executive Director Collaboration

There exists a perfect balance between governance and action that takes the delivery of unique and meaningful community impact  to new heights. To achieve this, we need to cultivate relationships that help us pivot away from command and control structures toward interactions that encourage trust, creativity, and deep collaboration. This begins with the reframing of the relationship between board chair and executive director and emanates outward to board, staff, and volunteers. Each in different roles with different expectations. Yet all driving toward the same goal.

During this one-hour webinar, we will explore how to create a foundation for organizational innovation through practices that deepen the connection between board chair and executive director. We will explore these different roles and the inherent barriers to a productive relationship. The webinar’s goal is to provide a set of activities that either leader can use as well as a joint approach to strengthening the collaboration.

This free webinar is led by Creation In Common’s Carlo Cuesta and is ideal for both board and staff leadership. We encourage board chairs and executive directors to attend together.
