Policy Governance
The Board of Directors of Open Harvest Cooperative uses Policy Governance to guide its work overseeing the store. Policy governance focuses the board's work on the ends, or what the overall goal of the store is, so the General Manager can determine the means to get to those ends. For a good discussion on Policy Governance, see these articles:
