Policy Governance® consultants have tended to practice individually; small practices with a relatively small reach into national or international markets and a limited ability to support the board governance needs of large and complex organizations. But higher education systems, health care systems and national and international associations with regional chapters are just a few examples of entities that require consulting firms with more “bench strength”. Such organizations seek professionals with the sharpest thinking in the field of governance, the staffing power to appropriately support the needs of their complex organization and their high powered board members as well as industry experience.

 

Enter The Governance Corporation. The Corporation is comprised of a group of highly skilled Policy Governance consultants with a remarkable depth of experience. We have joined forces to meet the board governance consulting needs of complex organizations while creating a synergistic environment in which we can advance the understanding, implementation and sustainment of Policy Governance. Stacy Sjogren one of eight partners in The Governance Corporation and invites you to learn more at their website.
