Good practice governance

Implementing good practices in board and committee work can significantly enhance organizational effectiveness. By establishing clear agendas, maintaining accurate minutes, and ensuring regular communication, boards and committees can operate more efficiently and transparently. These practices foster a culture of accountability and strategic focus, enabling better decision-making and more effective oversight.
