Josephine Oguta, Regional Governance Adviser for West and East Africa, World Vision International
Board Governance as Institutional Linchpin or a Necessary Bureaucracy?
Good Cooperate Governance is said to be the linchpin to sustainable organizations. World Vision --one of the largest and most influential Western transnational NGOs –believes that its institutional strategy is dependent on good Board governance. NGO board policies and practices 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 the Board and why boards are important (or not) against the backdrop of some examples of nonprofit failures. She is a well-known governance specialist, who also has helped shape the governance of ActionAidand other major transnational NGOs.
Lunch will be provided.

We’re Turning 100!
To mark our centennial in the fall of 2024, the Maxwell School will hold special events and engagement opportunities to celebrate the many ways—across disciplines and borders—our community ever strives to, as the Oath says, “transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.”
Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
