Policy Governance

Policy Governance is a model of organizational governance that focuses on the relationship between the governing board and the organization’s management. Developed by John Carver, it emphasizes the board's role in setting broad policies and ensuring accountability, rather than engaging in the day-to-day operations or management. Key principles of Policy Governance include: 1. **Ends and Means:** The board defines the "Ends" (the organization's goals or outcomes) and the "Means" (the strategies and methods to achieve those goals).
