Robert’s Rules of Order - The term itself conjures visions of powdered wigs and white privilege. In this Board Bits session we’ll separate the myth from the method and discuss the effectiveness of Robert’s Rules in facilitating open and inclusive decision making. We will break down key components of this artifact and explore alternatives, all in the pursuit of a fair and equitable governance framework that allows every board member the opportunity to have a voice in oversight of your nonprofit’s vision and values in purpose and practice.
Board Bits are designed by MCN’s Greater Minnesota team to frame hot topics and spur dialogue amongst peers. Each session will offer learning from subject matter experts along with time for networking and discussion on the designated topic.
