The BoardWorx Executive Director Program (BWED) is the first
program to launch under the BoardWorx stream of programs. While
the BoardMatch® stream of programs focus on ‘expanding’
the volunteer pool of new board members; BoardWorx is a new
stream of programs focused on enhancing the skill sets of staff
in the charitable sector in the area of governance.
BWED
is an innovative, multifaceted approach to board governance
learning; combining interactive classroom sessions, peer learning
circles and mentoring to support senior leaders in working
more effectively with their boards. BoardWorx will provide
Executive Directors opportunities to address governance issues
in a confidential setting with their peers.
