Definition

Board Education is the process of equipping your Directors with a clear understanding of their role and responsibilities.

Overview

By directly comparing and contrasting the ideal roles of the Board and CEO, the Board will solidify a clear understanding of what they will directly contribute to leading the credit union and what they will delegate to the CEO to achieve.

Nice Approach

Through Board Education, Nice Enterprises, Inc. will systematically guide your Board of Directors through creating the logical connections that make their appropriate strategic role clear and memorable. Beginning with the Board-focused definitions found in your credit union bylaws, the Board will discover its right role. Based on examples drawn from other, progressive credit unions, the Board will determine the key focuses that will enable them, as Directors, to devote a limited number of hours to Board functions, while simultaneously assuring they fulfill their fiduciary responsibilities and position the credit union for maximum success.
