board governance

Board governance refers to the system by which an organization is directed and controlled, usually by a board of directors. This board is responsible for making key decisions, establishing policies, and ensuring the organization meets its goals while adhering to legal and ethical standards. Effective board governance includes overseeing management, safeguarding assets, and engaging with stakeholders. It aims to promote transparency, accountability, and strong leadership, ultimately supporting the organization's mission and sustainability. Well-governed organizations tend to perform better and garner trust from employees, customers, and the wider community.
