To achieve success, CASA Boards must be passionately committed to the mission, possess substantial leadership skills and expertise and be organized for strategic leadership. Nothing less will do at a time when boards are facing the challenges of building long-term financial sustainability, weighing strategic restructuring options and planning for leadership succession.

In this fast-paced session, participants will learn six new board profile characteristics and explore solutions to barriers their board’s face in creating visionary leadership including
• A lack of time
• Risk taking, risk avoidance
• Lack of board involvement in strategic thinking, planning and decision making
• Lack of knowledge in an increasingly complex world
• Micromanagement
• Holding on to old ways
• Failing to find the right members
