"Our RG175 consultants were capable, professional and led us through every step of our search. What stands out most, though, is how accessible and responsive the team was. Any question big or small was given immediate and thoughtful attention. It was a pleasure and honor to work with RG175."
Governance Training
Leadership begins at the top. RG175 believes that effective Board Governance matched with a strong performing head of school leads to success for independent school leadership. If one of these is weak, the organization often stumbles. RG175 believes that many Board members are not trained for the important work that’s before them. We provide training in the best practices of independent school governance.
While we strive to focus on the individual needs of each school, our typical governance training covers the following topics:
- Mission/vision/values
- Roles and responsibilities of independent school Board members
- The Board Chair/head of school partnership
- Confidentiality
- Structuring the high-performing Board: meetings and committees
- Recruiting and onboarding new trustees
- The use of data
- Building a culture of philanthropy: the Board’s role in fundraising
- Head of school and board assessments
- Governance challenges
- Governance resources
