Stewardship Review: Insights for the Boardroom, Spring 2016

Stewardship Review is a Signal49 Research periodical publication that examines key issues in governance and features insightful articles from leading thinkers and experienced directors from across Canada. In this issue, Leila Fenc, Director, Corporate Responsibility & Deloitte Foundation at Deloitte, draws on her own experience to provide practical advice for young professionals interested in serving on non-profit boards. She answers some of the most commonly asked questions about board service and explores several best practices. In the second article, Lyn McDonell, President of The Accountability Group, Inc., explores past challenges in not-for-profit governance, and how boards must evolve to meet future challenges—changing social, political and economic circumstances, as well as new technology—and distinguish the headwinds of threats from the tailwinds of opportunities.
