Governance Symposium

fectively to address critical needs in our communities.

and Performance: The Triple Bottom Line for Non-

prot Governance,” which will be the focus of ple-

naries, seminars and workshops organized around

three modes of governance: duciary, strategic and

generative.

The workshops and seminars will use a combina-

tion of case studies and experiential and interactive

learning approaches for participants to be exposed to

best practices, hear lessons learned and gain valuable

tools of the trade in good governance, organizers said.
