New Board President Webinar—Fostering Board-Superintendent Team Unity
To maximize governance effectiveness, your board-superintendent team must operate together with unity. As a new board president, a chief responsibility is to promote collaboration and cultivate cohesion among your board members and with your superintendent. Where do you start? What matters most and what should you avoid?
In this interactive conversation, IASB staff and experienced board leaders discuss foundational communication practices and concrete steps to help you establish a tone of cooperative leadership and strategies to strengthen trust. While designed specifically for newly elected board presidents, anyone is welcomed to participate and/or watch the recording. Webinar attendees earned one
