Governance Training
A well functioning Board of Directors is the foundation of a successful organization. The Board plays a leadership role in determining strategic directions and for assuming accountability for organizational performance. Boards should be focused on developing policies, monitoring outcomes and using their available time to determine future directions of the corporation. To this end, Paquette Management Services has considerable expertise in supporting board members to take a leadership role in directing the activities of their corporations and for assuming accountability for organizational success.
