The Governance Matters! workshops are designed for heads and trustees to:

• Increase communication and information exchange among members of each school's governance team;
• Explore and more deeply understand the meaning of being a trustee for a Friends school;
• Identify core governance issues, questions and challenges;
• Prioritize goals and action steps for this year and beyond;
• Share and learn with colleagues from other Friends schools.
• Trustees and heads are encouraged to attend as a governance team.

Registration Opens August 1, 2008

Registration Fee: $110 per participant.

Each workshop is open to any trustee and head, regardless of geographic region. Consider traveling to a new location to visit Friends schools, or friends, nearby!

We ask that each governance team member attending the workshop bring her/his own copy of the Principles of Good Practice for Friends School Boards. Order yours at www.friendscouncil.org.
