How to Start a Hub

Would you like to lead a Hub exploring a specific topic related to governance?

Hubs are independently led groups of peers that meet virtually to further their learning about a particular topic related to Policy Governance and/or other advanced systems of governance.

A Few Examples:

  • Board Administrator's Hub – provides a forum and support for Board Administrators to share knowledge and learn from peers about their unique function and role
  • Education Org's Hub – provides a connection space for those involved in governance at school boards and other education environments. 
  • Faith-based Org's Hub – focuses on applying good governance in the faith-based world, while still staying true to the word. 
  • Simplifying Policy Governance Hub – considers how the teaching and implementation of PG may be made simpler without compromising success
  • New to Consulting Hub – provides support and ideas for those who are new to Policy Governance consulting or have limited experience
