The power dynamics within shared governance are unmistakable — boards are continually reminded that the proverbial buck stops with them. Yet, long before final decisions are made, many individuals and groups speak into, hold responsibility for, or make decisions about most issues addressed by the board, including the big ones. It’s no surprise that board members often feel as though they’re walking a tightrope.
Join Wise Stewards Project Director Rebekah Basinger, Ed.D., for an exploration of attitudes about power, types of power at play within shared governance, and strategies for mediating power-based tensions in institutional governance.
