Governance & Board Development

For board and executive excellence

 

Successful organizations and leaders require highly effective boards, but full board agendas rarely leave the necessary time for high quality board development and education. Effective board members must be fully engaged and develop trusting, accountable partnerships with the CEO. Board members also bear a fiduciary duty to the organization they serve. Having served on both sides of the board room table for decades, Michael Le Roy understands the important role that boards must play if the company or non-profit is to succeed. Board leadership and the executive customize Governance and Board Development Services with Michael Le Roy to acquire and maintain a strategic focus that supports high-performing leaders.
