NOT FOR PROFIT

THE EFFECTIVE BOARD

Hiring the CEO is one of the board's chief responsibilities. At John F. Morrissey, we handle everything: the Job Description, the Employment Contract, the recruitment process, Interviews, and making the appointment, as well as Induction and probation.

Managing the CEO'S performance
Boards that do not take the necessity for evaluation of the CEO seriously are courting disaster in two areas: the CEO, bearing the brunt of being the face of the organisation, can feel cut off, and the board may fail to see where the group is falling short of its aims.

Our employment solicitors have been schooled in best practice for doing evaluation - including establishing regular reviews, the best ways for the board to go about the process, and the areas in which the CEO's performance can be measured against position description and the terms of the employment contract.

Board Training and Governance
We have a variety of board models you can choose from, guidance to roles and responsibilities, how to get the best members, how to get the best results from board self-examination, how to set goals for standard committees, ensuring high-quality meetings.

We can also offer insights and practical advice into what makes board governance in the Not For Profit sector an effectual management tool.
