The unique role of the chairperson
In this course we dive into the critical role of a board chairperson within an organisation's governance structure. This course emphasises that a board chairperson's primary function is to lead the board, not the entire organisation, and highlights the unique challenges and complexities faced by nonprofit board chairs. We explore the essential qualities and attributes that make an effective board chair, such as spiritual maturity, wisdom, alignment with the organisation's mission, emotional intelligence, and a strong understanding of nonprofit governance principles.
