2024 Leaders Day Talk | | Leadership & Strategic
Summary
What qualifications, skills, and personality traits should we look for in classical Christian school board members? What is the process for finding board members? How long does it take to find board members? How do we onboard new members and ensure proper training in board governance so that we remain committed to our mission, vision, and strategic plan? If you have asked any of these questions, you are not alone. These are all common questions of classical Christian school boards that will be addressed during this workshop.
