Affiliate Engagement

Affiliate engagement is at the heart of the development and design of Govern for Impact's strategic position which is composed of:  Valued Engagement (of our members), Demonstrated Impact (of Policy Governance and other advanced governance systems) and Business Sustainability (of Govern for Impact).    

 If you believe that having highly functioning boards is key to creating the future you want to see, you have come to the right place.  Govern for Impact is a non-profit community of practitioners, researchers and consultants acting for public benefit - promoting and developing the advanced governance systems the world so sorely needs. 

Govern for Impact's original 1999 vision of "owner-accountable productive organizations is still upheld in our board's Governance Process policies and our recently revised Ends now refer not only to reliable and trustworthy Policy Governance resources but also to "other resources that support owner-accountable governance" as well as " the ability to learn from and dialogue about other systems of, and approaches to, owner-accountable governance.

We put the needs of board members and other governance practitioners' first in all we do.  As the people who actually implement  governance systems, they are our most important immediate beneficiaries.   You will find practitioners contributing at every level of Govern for Impact. 

And don't forget the other resources we currently offer:
