Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort,
intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives. — William A. Foster.

Art of Chairmanship Board Game™ on October 19th, at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto, Canada:
Chairs and Committee Chairs will not want to miss the fabulous line up of presenters and facilitators at our Art of Chairmanship Board Game™. At this highly interactive event participants will have the opportunity to practice chairing skills in a series of simulations. Experts in structural, behavioural and cultural governance will provide valuable feedback to participants throughout the “games!”
This one-day event is for board and committee chairs and directors who want to be more effective in the chair. Most boards and committees have largely succeeded in defining structure, charter, roles and responsibilities, but culture and behaviour are at least as important to effective functioning. This workshop will you give an opportunity to practice new skills through interactive simulations of board/committee meetings. With instant feedback from your peers, a skilled facilitator and experts in boardroom functioning, you will leave with a greater sense of your capacity for this challenging and rewarding role.
