In-Person International Policy

Governance Association (IPGA)

Consultants’ Forum

— Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA

One of the two major oppor-

tunities IPGA provides each year

for consultants and experienced

practitioners (defined as those who

have worked with their board using

the Policy Governance® system for

at least two full annual monitoring

cycles) to get together for in-depth

learning and networking with expert

presentations and lively discussion

of common challenges.

The main theme for this Forum is

the Policy Governance concept of

“At What Worth?” as a vital part of

Ends design has long been a source

of puzzlement. This Forum aims to

engage us all in helping to clarify

what the concept means in theory

and practice. We will also pick up

on important threads from last

year’s Forum including ownership

and culture.
