Event Overview:

A strong foundation in shared and professional governance is essential for organizations seeking to build and sustain effective shared decision-making structures. But many teams find themselves asking: How do we move from shared governance to true professional governance? How do we advance and strengthen our councils to drive meaningful outcomes?

This virtual course is designed to answer those questions.

Previously offered as a two-day program, this course has been thoughtfully redesigned into a high-impact virtual experience- delivering two days’ worth of essential content in one comprehensive course.

Through a multimodal, cohort-based format, participants will explore the critical components of successful governance: structures, processes, and outcomes– because meaningful outcomes can only be achieved when the right foundation and practices are in place.

• Structures: Build a strong foundation through education on shared/professional governance, including bylaws and charters, as well as clearly defined roles, responsibilities, and expectations.
• Processes: Strengthen how your councils function with a focus on team development, member selection, succession planning, and effective meeting practices.
• Outcomes: Learn how to measure and improve outcomes through meaningful data and performance insights.

The course also highlights sustainability strategies and keys to long-term success, helping organizations maintain momentum and impact over time.

Participants will engage in a blend of self-paced modules, featuring curated readings, videos, and reflection questions, alongside live virtual sessions designed to deepen discussion and support real-world application.

Who Should Attend:

This course is designed for individuals at all levels, including leaders, clinical staff, council chairs and co-chairs, council members, and anyone looking to better understand or become involved in shared/professional governance.

Continuing Education:

Contact hours will be provided for individuals who complete all of the modules, attend at least 70% of the live sessions, and complete an evaluation.
