Good Cooperate Governance is said to be the linchpin t o sustainable organizations. World Vision --one of the largest and most in fluential Western transnational NGOs –believes that its institutional stra tegy is dependent on good Board governance. NGO board policies and practic es are supposed to keep organizational practices in check\, yet NGOs have not escaped governance failures. This has led to headlines such as “Who is guarding the guardian?”
The talk by Ms. Ogutawill look at role of t he Board and why boards are important (or not) against the backdrop of som e examples of nonprofit failures. She is a well-known governance specialis t\, who also has helped shape the governance of ActionAidand other major t ransnational NGOs.
Lunch will be provided.
