What People Say
âAs I have been a part of a few different boards and experienced how inefficient they can be many times, it was encouraging to go through the Policy Governance Foundations course. It made me understand how a board should work and the importance that the board have a clear understanding of their role and mandate.â
Annalena
(Foundations course)âStrongly recommend, if you want to fulfill your value and goal in your ministry!â
Rebekah
Foundations courseâThis course has a lot of great foundational materials to help you understand policy governance. What made it useful to me were the practical applications included. The video interviews with people actually doing policy governance gave lots of ideas that would apply in our context.â
Shawna
Foundations courseâThis course was very instructive for us as a board. Doing it together brought extra value as we explored topics and weighed what we are doing against the theory we were learning. The online / non-synchronized format makes it easy to fit into any schedule.â
Petrus
Foundations courseâOur school moving to Policy Governance has been a very positive and you helped us do it. â
Karl
Foundations courseâI would like to thank you so much for your sterling support and facilitation of the Board training last week. The feedback was very positive and the training was certainly scratching multiple âitchesâ in terms of what we needed to learn and grow in.â
Andrew
Foundations course in team settingâI really enjoyed your materials. Lots of variety in manageable chunks.â  Â
Derek
Foundations courseâI already had several years of experience with Policy Governance but it was a great refresher and went much deeper into the âwhyâ we do certain things that other trainings or books I remember reading. Overall, I think it was a great quality training and really thought it was worth the time that was put into it.
