28-F. Governance Strategies for a Short-Term World

The boards of senior living organizations operate in a landscape of rapid change that can often feel overwhelming. Gone are the days when boards of directors could develop strategic plans spanning 10 or more years, conduct protracted discussions before making decisions, or rely on “what we have always done.” During this session several consultants who work across multiple settings will share their observations on how today’s boards can best navigate an operating climate in which regulations are proliferating, consumer expectations are rising, and the economic environment is in constant flux. You’ll return home with suggestions of effective governance practices to help your board govern effectively in turbulent times while maintaining its focus amid an ever-expanding scope of work.
