Effective governance is essential to the proper function of your organization be it a corporation, charity, sports franchise/association, educational institution or not-for-profit organization.

“An appropriately functioning governance system assures stakeholders that the organization in which they have invested money, time, effort or their reputations, is subject to adequate internal checks and balances, and that the people empowered to make decisions on behalf of the organization (the board) act in the best interests of the organization and its stakeholders.
— Russel Hoye & Graham Cuskelly (from their book Sports Governance)
