This recession has tested the relationships and confidence by boards in many CEO's. Fundraising for public private partnership organizations has been difficult, deal flow has been anemic and frankly many of our board members businesses are hurting. If not careful, the CEO/Executive Directors of local economic development organizations could have their jobs at risk as leadership tries to figure out how to turn the local economy around. Learn how to fireproof your job!

"Building Strong Board-CEO Partnerships" will provide attendees with detailed, hands-on guidance in building and maintaining the kind of close, productive, and enduring board-CEO partnerships that these rapidly changing, always challenging, and frequently threatening times demand. Both speakers will draw on the highly successful, real-life experience of the North Louisiana Economic Partnership in building a rock-solid board-CEO partnership.

Join IEDC on Thursday, September 16to learn the places where CEO/Board of Director relationships can run aground and what steps you should take to resolve these issues.

This web seminar will cover:
• The characteristics of "board-savvy" CEOs who tend to be successful at partnership building;
• A contemporary definition of the board's governing work that goes well beyond the old-fashioned notion of "policy making;"
• The use of well-designed board committees as reliable partnership building vehicles; practical ways to build board accountability for its own governing performance;
• Tools to keep the board-CEO partnership healthy, including an effective process for board evaluation of CEO performance; and
• How the North Louisiana Economic Partnership employed a governance task force to put the new board's role, structure, and governing processes in place.
