The MBC Board Policy Manual

THE MBC BOARD POLICY MANUAL DIFFERENCE

Miedema’s Board Consulting (MBC) Inc. tailors each process and Board Policy Manual so it is appropriate for the board and organization. MBC then follows up with training and support to ensure the Board Policy Manual produced will be used as it was designed.

Board Policy Manuals are MBC’s focus so your board will get the most up-to-date expertise possible. MBC combines the best ideas of over the last forty years of board governance theories with today’s proven best practices to create its  manuals. During the entire process, a practical, business lens is applied to ensure the Board Policy Manual is tailored to the needs of the specific organization and the board. No two boards and organizations are alike and therefore no two manuals will be the same. MBC’s Board Policy Manuals are also designed to be dynamic and change with the times. Best of all, MBC’s manual are meant to be brief so that all board members can be expected to read and understand them. The goal is a 15-20 page Board Policy Manual with the necessary supporting documents and forms that are needed by the board, board committees and management to keep on track.

Deliverables (designed around the Board’s needs, objectives and budget):

  • The option of a Board Policy Manual compliant with standards set out by Imagine Canada and the Canadian Centre for Christian Charities.
  • In addition to the manual, MBC builds in supporting documents such as committee terms of reference, board and committee work plans, a new board member onboarding checklist, a board succession planning matrix and board meeting/board member evaluation forms (as needed)
  • Review/critique of existing governance structure and governance processes & procedures to ensure practices that are working well are retained
