September 12, 2023 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
Join us on Sept 12th from 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm OR Sept 14th from 5:00 pm – 7:00 pm as OLTA hosts two sessions on Land Trust Governance & Operations tailored specifically for land trust staffs, volunteers, and Board Members of OLTA.
Title: Where’s the line between governance and operations?
Description: Nothing great can be accomplished without an effective partnership between the board and the staff (paid or unpaid, including board members performing operational work). But stepping on toes gets an Ouch reaction, not an Impact one – and usually muddles up accountability. During these informative sessions we’ll talk about:
- A board’s legal and usual role;
- Explicit delegation to the Executive Director (or operational committees if no senior staff person); and
- Clarifying that big grey area in-between in a way that works for your culture, history, life-cycle stage, and people.
Whether you are a professional staff member or a passionate volunteer, these sessions will provide valuable knowledge and actionable tips to drive your mission forward successfully. Depending on your availability, you are welcome to attend either session. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and share experiences with fellow professionals and volunteers in the land trust community.
This event will be hosted by the talented Jane Garthson, President, Garthson Leadership Centre.
